I was blessed with 110+ yr old starter...my cinnamon rolls are better than Cinnabon, as proclaimed by the many folks who have tried them. I have read a multitude of sourdough starter recipes. When i was given the starter i was also given the instructions to feed it. Recipes for bread, dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls... This recipe makes a slightly sweet fluffy soft white bread... I feed my starter with 3/4 C sugar, 3 Tbs instant potatoes, 1 C AP flour, 1 C room temp to slightly warm water, and the whole jar of my 3-7day old starter from the fridge, all mixed together in a large glass bowl. I let it sit at room temp for 8-12hrs. Remove 1 1/3 C of starter for my recipe, return the rest to a1/2gallon jar, cover with hole punched lid and back to the fridge with my starter. My 1 1/3 cup starter produces 3 loaves, or pan of cinnamon rolls, or trays of dinner rolls. I can make 3 of whatever. My dough recipe is 3/4 C sugar, 1/2C oil, 1C bread flour, 1C warm water, 1 1/3C starter. Combine, roll ball with oil to coat, lightly cover with parchment and let rise for 8-12hrs. Punch down, divide into 3 portions. Form in to 3 loaves, 3 pans of rolls or make cinnamon rolls. Let rise ar room temp til doubled...8-12hrs..if this process has not happened, my neice will get a severe tummy ache, as she has a gluten intolerance. So if put into the fridge after forming into whatever, and it rises there it will not degrade the gluten...time at room temp seems to be the key...then to a 350° oven for 22min...exactly...set you timer! I cannot for the life of me throw any out 🙃. To shorten this novel, i now have 5 half gal jars of starter, having to start work tomorrow. I will not have the time needed to creat all the bread i must make...15 pans of various treats...i went in search of a answer to the question...why do some recipes call for HUNGRY starter...i only have experience with the fed starter...so...for now i will feed the beast...and divde and fill maybe 3 more jars...and pribably need to quit my job and start making cinnamon rolls to sell😁😁😁
