Ive been making sourdough bread for a couple of months. With each baking session I learn a bit more and we get to eat my experiments. Recently, I posted a picture of two loaves on Instagram tagging it #sourdough and other similar tags.  I was surprised when I received a comment from a sourdough baker in Maui.  I immediately started following him on Instagram and looked back at the pictures he posted–mostly of bread.  A few days ago someone commented on his bread picture asking for his recipe.  He replied with his recipe in the next comment and I jotted it down.  Yesterday, I baked bread using his recipe.  I had to add more water as it’s less humid here than in Hawaii, but otherwise the bread  came out great.

The best part is that the yield was 4 loaves instead of the two I normally get.  This is what’s left of the first loaf after we all sampled it–some of us may have sampled it several times.  I have to post a picture of my “Maui” sourdough on Instagram so he can see it. It’s so cool that two people, thousands of miles apart, who share a common interest, can connect, and, in my case, learn from each other.

  1. Looks very good! You never know when you will learn something new and from where it will come.
