Adventure 2 of 3: Escape-artist Sourdough Starter
Okay, so this is a rather lame adventure. But it was a frequent occurrence throughout the month of May as Jake received new sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour as a birthday gift the month before. I think the growing heat and humidity in our apartment helped the starter grow faster than it did over the cooler winter months.
Below is the starter, which began by filling an old glass applesauce jar about halfway to the top. Here it has completely overfilled the glass jar, cascaded down to fill the pyrex glass bowl the jar sat in, and is in the process of spilling over to the plate. Pretty nuts!
And also pretty delicious. Here's a shot of the end result of the starter used for a sourdough circle loaf. Love the circle lines on top!
