where can i get this kind of bread?
Farmer’s markets are a great place to get them. Darina Allen almost single-handedly created the great network of weekend farmer’s markets we see across Ireland. Some lovely artisan bakers regularly selling their wares. Supervalu and Dunnes sell a very nice white spelt sourdough by a small bakery in Dublin - “Soul Bread”. Not sure if it’s available outside the pale.
@Horsebox - recipe for starter and bread on it’s way pal.
Ah jaysus, bud. A 3 page recipe. I can barely read.

There’s 5+ days in getting your sourdough starter going, but once she’s up and running…
It’s a bit like the folkloric German tale by the Brothers Grimm - the Magic Porridge Pot.
Skip to page 3 and have a look at the bottom-right corner of the page.

ah here, 5 days for a bit of bread?

can you make a ham and cheese sandwich with this sour dough shite?

Sourdough me bollix.
It’s a fancy name for grinder. The usual plebs just lap it all up.
Where is your patience? Your staying power? Your desire to invest in you, and your personal well-being? You’re showing a “short-cut” mentality here Tassotti, and I don’t like what I see. Where is the man that’s open to changing his life in ways he never imagined were possible? 5 days to develop a starter that gives you an endless supply of healthy bread. There are bakers with a starter that’s a number of years old, and it’s still giving them their daily bread. Simple foundational work that has stood the test of time - this is a bread that is as at home in the Ravenous thread as it would be in the Self-help thread.

@Fitzy and @anon7035031 - Mrs. Moth is the real champ here. She’s been baking breads for us for years and it’s one of the best ways to avoid the poisons in mass-produced breads that @Tassotti rightly points out. Great too when you have a proper baker nearby - we used to live beside one of the best, and still make a point on dropping in every now and again to pick up a loaf.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing how Tassotti gets on with the River Cottage book. This thread will no doubt continue to inform and inspire the rest of the forum.
