That does look good and pretty easy and not very time consuming.
Have you tried sour dough using fresh ground whole wheat yet? I'd love to know how it turns out. I've tried it and it just doesn't want to rise much. I know sour dough is heavy, but that's very heavy.
I have well water outside, too. I can use that? Or should I get bottled water?
One more question. I've never heard of Simply Bee. Is it a MJF magazine?

This looks fantastic! I have saved the no-knead recipe from NY Times but haven't made it yet . . . this may turn out to be my go-to recipe instead. Tomorrow begins Mission: Bread the MaryJane Way!!

There's still one last page of instructions coming that we'll get posted tomorrow. Make sure you come back and read the helpful hints it contains before you get started!
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'WOO HOO, what a ride!'"

I think Simply Bee is one of the issue names of MaryJanesFarm magazine. Also- Kristin I think you can use well water but you could try it both ways and see which one does better.
When I had my sour dough, it wasn't heavier than "normal" bread by any means- in fact it was much lighter. I think it all depends on how active you starter is. If it isn't active enough give it a few extra days to let the yeasties beasties multiply more.

I would love to try my hand at sourdough bread. Does it have to be organic flour? or can it just be regular bread flour?
Take care, Melissa.

Regular flour has been through more processing than organic flour and has lost a lot of the natural yeast. If you use regular flour the results will not necessarily turn out. Organic flour is best and has much more natural yeast.

Thanks Alee, I guess I'll have to make trip to Tops. Our only grocery store here doesn't carry anything fancy like that. ;)
Take care, Melissa.

I have a question....I live in Texas and right now the weather is jumping up and down (lows in 30 highs in 60-70)...will that effect my starter? I live in an older house (very drafty) stove is right by north side back door ...so cannot leave it in the kitchen area..maybe a bedroom on the south side of the house might work (away from windows)...??

Hi Ladies!
I just read through the excellent article and it really answers a lot of questions! If you read the intro page right above the picture there are some words in green that say "Lets get started" Click there and it opens up the article for you. Once you read through the article, the url www.breadthemaryjaneway.org will lead you back to this topic so that we can continue the discussion!
I hope that clears up some confusion?

When I rec'd my magazine this week I was so excited! I love sourdough and usually use the type that involves yeast...but this will be so much better!! I can't wait to start the mother! Has anyone started any yet?
