Bread Baking

Best naan I ever made. I acted as though the bread making process was more art than science and it worked! This time, anyway.

I made mine, too...not the most artistic bread I've ever made, but the kids approve. The loaf looks pretty good; I'll slice it tomorrow morning.

Hey, I'm new to this whole message board thing, but thought I'd reach out and give it a try. I am new to bread baking as well and have been using a starter that I made. I don't bake all that often, but dont want to lose my starter. I refrigerated it for 2 weeks before using it again, refreshing after one week and then again at the 2 week mark. Does anyone know how often I need to refresh a refrigerated starter? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

You need to feed 2x a day.

I froze my starter a while back and was able to bring it back, it was better than ever!

If it's a little slow, try throwing a little rye flour in there. When I really want a jump start, that's what I do.
