Has anyone tried making salt rising bread? I have recently become interested in trying it. From what I have read on the subject, you have a source of constant warmth for the starter. In modern kitchens without wood burning fires, this is a problem... any ideas on how to keep the starter warm enough? I thought I'd try using the crock pot.
I think the starter for salt rising bread has to be much warmer then sourdough starter. Something like 150 degrees for 20 hours... but the top of the fridge is a great idea for sourdough; I'll have to try that. :)
Oh that sounds really interesting. I bet a crockpot would work, I love kitchen chemistry! What if you put some water and a thermometer in your crock pot and test it for the length of time needed? I would love to hear how this works out for you.
