For my Inquiry project I have chosen to focus in on the process of making my own sourdough. I have been baking and cooking since I was about five years old, but I want to take my knowledge a step further, and I believe that sourdough would be a good challenge for me. I have always wanted to make my own sourdough. The commitment of babysitting starter for the sourdough always seemed a bit over whelming, as it is a process of patience and when I bake I like to be able to have it done in one setting.
Goals for this project are
- Make my own Starter, that will hopefully thrive and survive
- Make a plain sourdough loaf that turns out semi decent
- Make sourdough loafs that have inclusions through out them
- Make sourdough bagels
- Finally if all goes to plan, be able to incorporate the sourdough discard into other recipes, such as but is not limited to; pancakes, muffins, cookies, etc……
