Sour dough bread

[blackkitty]

Does anyone have a recipe for this? I've tried to different ones from google but neither were very successful.

I think we've got a recipe as my OH loves this bread and he's mother used to make it when he was younger - I'll have a look in our recipe folder tonight and get back to you.

Thanks, I knew someone would be able to help.

I've searched and searched and not found a recipe. I think I might have been thinking of Irish soda bread instead. None the less, I've emailed my OH's mum to see if she does have a recipe or not.

Will keep you posted.

dear blackkitty,
I have a recipe for sour dough bread it is complicated by the fact you have to make a starter dough and leave it for 2-3 days. do you want to continue? if so i can email you the recipe, or it is in a book called bread machine (how to prepare and bake the perfect loaf) by Jennie Shapter publishers Hermies House London.

My recipe for sour dough, in a Moroccan cook book, also takes a good weekend to do properly. According to the recipe, you need organic red grapes and you can then make your own yeast starter. I have a different recipe for French couronne which is a bit of a cheat's way forward though, it uses yoghurt to get somthing like an authentic sour taste and is extremely tasty. I can fish it out if you like.

[blackkitty]

Yes please, any and all recipes will be appreciated. I know it takes a long time to do properly. I think that's what makes it so satisfying but then maybe I'm just wierd.

SOURDOUGH BREADS

The Bread Book by Linda Collister and Anthony Blake (ISBN 1-85029-532-8) and Bread (from ciabatta to rye) also by Linda Collister ISBN 1-84172-194-8) contain several sourdough recipes. You could look in your local library to see if they have either of them. If not, if you would like, I can type them out and PM them to you.

valmarg, thanks for the offer, I've found a different recipe on the internet and it seems to be working better than previous ones, still needs a bit of tweeking but I'm getting bubbles this time. I'll definitely get back to you if its unsuccessful,
thanks
