Wow, they look amazing......... much better than mine! how do you get the crust so nice?
yes, i am thinking of doing a course too and found a nice looking one in east sussex called Lighthouse bakery!
thanks for all the tips and advice, its a real adventure each time i bake to see how it will turn out, i have finally got my family interested now instead of the unhelpful comment" why don't you just buy some"!!!

Hmmmm interesting....
I bake once or twice a week so the starter is not that old, i use half to bake with and then top it up for the nxt time.
I have started making the dough in the evening and then leaving it in the fridge overnight and then knead and prove a couple more times the next day so all in all its fermenting for 18-20 hrs.
when yours is in the fridge for a couple of wks unused do you feed and refresh it or just keep it hungry?
also what shape do you bake yours?
Have tried all sorts, the last came out quite well as a sort of bloomer and also have some success with a bread tin??

I have recently become obsessed with making my own sourdough bread and have had some success to a degree....
My first loaf was not one of style or beauty but was really tasty and had a very good sourdough "tang", since then they look and rise much better but have lost that sourdough taste.
I have a really smelly bubbly mother in the fridge but seem to lose that in the bread.
I would be grateful for any tips or advice from other sourdough bakers
Thanks
