Sourdough Rut

Too much of a good thing sadly ends up being not so good. We have had sourdough weekly for about 2 years. To be honest, I'm sick of it! I would just stop making it altogether and pick it back up in a few months, but sourdough doesn't work that way. I have to keep the starter alive in the fridge by feeding it every week. If I don't feed the starter I won't be able to make any sourdough in a few months. So for the last several weeks I've fed the starter and just dumped out the extra.

This week I decided I could just change things up. I added some craisins and oats and all the sudden it was like new! Sometimes its the simple things!!

Santi loves the kneading process!

Such a helper!

Let it rise for 8-12 hours.

Roll it up and let it rise another 8-12 hours. I topped it with some more oats.

When it came out of the oven it was beautiful.

Next time I'll make sure to add some oil or egg to the top so the oats actually stick, fail!

Know whats not a fail? Mr. Im sick of Mamas fresh bread wanted to eat some...from 

the center out...a little like a monster with a crazy look to boot!

Im actually excited about making it next week now. What shall I add this time?
