It’s getting a little bit competitive!  Denise in the Outer Hebrides, and daughter Catherine in Navarra. Sourdough – made with yeasts harvested from the wild.  How big a volume of bread can be made starting from nothing more than an ounce of rye flour.  Catherine’s more than a head ahead of her mum, I reckon.  Perhaps I should run a sweep-stake.  Finishing line a fortnight on Friday. The winner is she who makes the biggest batch of wholemeal 100% sour-dough bread and ends up with the same quantity of starter as she started with.
