I love making sourdough bread and everyone seems to enjoy eating it. I often make rolls, freeform, and put them in the freezer for a quick addition to a meal or for a sandwich. Question about making ET Sourdough Bread. The recipe calls for "fed" starter to be mixed with flour and water and sit for 4 hours. Does the "fed" starter need to sit for at least 4 hours as well (per feeding instructions) before using in this recipe? Thanks for your help. Yes, Yvette, you should feed your dormant (refrigerated) starter, and let it grow for 4 hours; then mix with flour and water and let it grow again. Since there's no added yeast in this loaf, you need to give it a good long time to grow on its own. And the longer it grows, the higher the rise, the better the flavor. Good luck - PJH
