I then put them sliced in freezer bags in the freezer... then, as I need them, I just get 1 or 2 slices out, and toast them... Stored frozen they really keep for a long time (weeks at least), which is good, since I am the only one who eats my yummy sourdough.eyewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160473000436094555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-52113021779633122422011-09-03T01:12:23.068-07:002011-09-03T01:12:23.068-07:00P.S. - Use a cast iron dutch oven and lid, to prev...P.S. - Use a cast iron dutch oven and lid, to prevent shattering a glass lid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-79704813574546136192011-09-03T01:11:32.738-07:002011-09-03T01:11:32.738-07:00Jim Leahey, a commercial baker, turned me on to us...Jim Leahey, a commercial baker, turned me on to using a dutch oven to bake the bread in. You pre-heat your oven (with the dutch oven and lid) to 525 degrees for about an hour. Pour or add your dough into it, cover tightly for about 30 min. Uncover, reduce heat to 450 and cook another 15-20 min. Due to the wetness of the dough, the dutch oven creates a perfect steam environment, creating great oven spring.<br /><br />Of course with all your kneading, it appears you don't like large holes in your bread, so perhaps this method is not for you.<br /><br />I just thought you might like another method that doesn't require all that extra effort of spraying and trying to create a steamy environment.<br /><br />Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-61542174341764291462011-05-25T09:20:31.660-07:002011-05-25T09:20:31.660-07:00Hello, this comment has nothing to do with your so...Hello, this comment has nothing to do with your sourdough bread but I was wondering if you had ever made a post about making shampoo bars. I have made other recipes you have and have always liked them and I was interested in making a shampoo bar to try. I would appreciate it if you would share your recipe.

I have made it in the past but usually buns because half the family doesn't like sour dough.
