Sourdough bread in 5 min a day?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
We've been trying the Body Ecology Diet and I'm really missing bread. So, I thought fully soured wheat bread that is partially millet or amaranth would be a nice compromise. I've been wanting to try the idea from Artisan Bread in 5 Min a Day, but they don't have any sourdough recipes in there. So, I'm wondering what I would need to do.
I want the bread to be completely soured (as opposed to a sour starter in plain flour), and I want to make enough to put in the fridge for a week or two.
Has anyone made completely soured bread?
Has anyone made it using this method?
Anyone wanna give it a try with me?

Have you seen this site? I have tried the no knead sourdough but not with huge success. I liked it but it was too crusty and sour for the kiddos so I haven't made it much - I stick to bread I know they will eat.

Hope that helps? Be interested to know how yours turns out.

I can tell you that 100% sourdough starter bread is really not possible like that. To keep the dough all ready to go in large amounts for 1 or 2 weeks just won't work. Sourdough starter needs to be fed more often to be active. I mean, I guess anything is possible and not to burst your bubble but I've tried it before and it doesn't work.

I have seen that book, and have been making bread this way for years. I was making true sourdough for a while but taking a break and back to my huge buckets of dough in the fridge.

ETA: I should add that yes you can of course make however many loaves at a time completely soured using the overnight/no kneed method but I wasn't sure if you meant that, or like keeping large amounts of dough soured in the fridge and then cut off a loaf size amount to bake. Because that is what that book is about and completely soured bread won't work. You can use starter, with added commercial yeast for flavor though
