We eat about 3 loaves of bread a week but I don't like ot bake it all at one time. I don't use any dough conditioners in our bread and I'll say that after sitting for 2-3 days it starts to get "old." I guess that's why day old bread in bakery's are cheaper. It starts to lose something fairly quickly! :)

I generally bake on Saturday, I clean and cook all day Saturday, it is how I relax and wind down from the previous week. On Sunday I "shop" for the week. I go to the freezers and the canned food and plan a few menus for the week ahead.

I don't really have a certain day that I bake. I make homemade cornbread at times throughout the week and usually bake something sweet whenever we are in the mood for something special.

HELP! Does anyone make sourdough? I want to, and so I started the starter on my counter, but forgot to feed it for a day or two. I fed it today, but I wonder...should I dump it and start all over? or should I just add an extra day of feeding before I use it?
Thanks! |

I start my bread "sponges" on Sunday night and then bake all day Monday. Mondays are also "beans and rice" day, so there's a big pot of beans cooking.
Any bread that gets "old" or dry gets turned into crumbs or bread pudding. (yum)
Holly, I'll email you about your starter.
