    Cheers Grant - just been looking and apparently it works well (treat it a bit like sourdough, but you won't get the same sour flavours).
    I will give it a go and show the result

    Probably needed another day of feeding to bring the starter up to proper speed as this one was a bit flat.

    Next one will be an improvement hopefully.

    *was still pretty tasty though.

    if you treat it as an italian biga, you will get similar results to sourdough.

    Tony this is good. I have to say do NOT follow the instructions and just use it to create a starter. I found it is better than any starter I have made from just flour.

    Pricey but as you know a starter made from it will last for ages. If the water separates in your starter and looks brown, bin it and start again. For a white sourdough starter that is. That's my current philosophy anyway. I am also using a starter to do leaven, then leaven to dough.

    It makes bread that gives me no stomach troubles no matter how much I eat it would seem.

    Thanks again, looked up biga and made one - rose really well then made a ciabatta with it (four actually, a bit malformed but good enough to make me want to try again)

    Russian Rye on the go.

    I am not confident about this the way it is made is a first for me.

    77 degC scalded rye and leaven ready for it in about 3 hours. Treacle and caraway in this.

    This just won't shape I reckon. So I might bake it in a tin. We'll see.

    Thank God you don't have to stretch and fold this. The wet rye is like glue.

    Screwed up already. Supposed to be a rye starter.

    It'll still be good. Will have to stretch and fold a bit. At least it won't form bricks.

    RTFM LOL.
