NYTimes article today about a Professor that works just down the hall from me.
Returning from a long blogging hiatus... Phyllis and I baked our first ever loaf of sourdough today. We made our own starter earlier in the week, mixed the dough this morning, let it rise most of the day, and baked it just before dinner. We were highly skeptical that it would work since things started rather ominously: our Cuisinart refused to continue processing while we were adding flour to adjust the consistancy of the dough. Furthermore, our dough was more of a puddy than I am used to.
In any case, there is room for improvement, but we can't complain with our first results. The loaf has a firm, crispy crust and the interior is soft and delicious. Yum!
