Morning, I am going to try my first sour dough loaf today. How long after a feed can I use the starter ?

Four weeks in the oven. This week we're leaving it behind. 🔥 English muffins don't bake. They griddle. That's a different physics problem, and it's worth a few minutes to understand what's actually happening under your dough. The video walks through three things: 🌡️ Why 275 to 300 is the sweet spot, and what happens if you go hotter or colder. 🌽 What cornmeal is actually doing. Hint: it's not just dusting flour. It's a steam vent. 🍴 Why we split with a fork, never a knife. Structural reasons, not tradition. If you've ever ended up with a dense, hockey-puck muffin, the answer is in here. Watch this video before Friday night. Then mix. See you at the griddle Saturday. ~ Henry ⭐🔥

Family. I’m out this afternoon celebrating Ryan’s graduation from FMU. Master’s degree. Proud day. Get your poolish going and feed those starters tonight. Tomorrow is Pretzel Bread Day and you don’t want to be playing catch-up. I’ll be back late tonight from the ceremony. See you in the kitchen. ~Henry ⭐️🔥
