Sourdough

I've been trying and trying to make sourdough bread, with limited success. I've done a few passable semi-sourdough loaves (sourdough with added yeast), but when I tried plain sourdough it would sit for days, barely rising at all. When I gave up and added a bit of yeast it rose, but it was so sour it wasn't really nice.

Then Deb sent me a little bag of sourdough starter from Yoke Mardewi. I fed it over a few days then made a loaf with some of it and some of mine (because there wasn't much of Yoke's yet). Kept it warm in the car and hooray! beautiful sourdough bread.
