Do any of y'all have sourdough starters going? I'm looking into it lately as I've been craving chili in a sourdough bread bowl. (I've had 'em in San Francisco, and love them together.)
I've searched the net over the past couple days and found some sites with conflicting info. I suspect there are folk in this forum who might be well-informed in this area, too.
I've ordered a "San Francisco" starter from the net. (Northwestern Sourdough) My suspicion is that it should work well for a while, but that in time, yeast and lactobacillus more common to my area will infiltrate the starter and take it over.
I'm not above reading books to alleviate my ignorance on the subject, if you can recommend any.
Thanks, all!
