I am turning cartwheels 'cuz I have two loaves of Salt Rising bread in the oven!! My first starter didn't look like it worked - but I did see one bubble on the edge so I figured I'd mix starter # 2 and give it a go. We put the combined starters in the proof box (makes the process so much easier and keeps the warmth constant) and headed to grocery shop. When we got back, the combined starters were bubbling away and close to doubling. Success! Thank you King Arthur for helping me bring back a bread my family loved when I was a child - it was available in a bakery in the town where we spent weekends - we would buy as much as our freezer would hold and dread when we were out. It's back! And I can't wait to have toast tomorrow morning.
