Took awhile but I found the link. Fresh ground spices do matter. I freeze left over marinade in a zip lock and it keeps for a good while.

The contrast between the smutty, basey spices and the treble zing of the habernero are particularly pleasing.

Thank you Fast. Is there specific recipe for a started? Or is it common?
I would argue that it’s not a basic skill unless your expectations are low.
Oh, I bet he has one of those hanging around somewhere.
Heck I still have a triple beam somewhere but the Mrs. insists on using them new fangled digital thingamajigs.

I dunno, making good bread is not hard, it just takes a "feel" for cooking. I think anyone who knows "how to cook" can make bread. It's fun and I can't think of a better smell in the house in winter than bread in the oven. Yum!
Making great bread, well, that takes a lot of loafs under your belt.
Sourdough, OTOH, is an entirely different thing. It takes a LOT of dedication. It's hard to ignore the blob growing in the fridge. I kept one going for four years once. You really got to LIKE eating sourdough.
I found this recipe for Started. What do you all think?

Its enough to be successful with making a starter. I suggest just buying a bag of good quality bread flour and whole wheat flour and skip the AP flour. Take the measurements they use and cut it in half, I typically use 30g to create a starter, no sense in using that much until you're ready to bake.
Remember, ALL bread used to be made with sourdough before the advent of commercial yeast. It's not difficult to sub starter for yeasted dough recipes once you get a few basic principles down. I will also feed my starter only a couple times a week, if I'm busy it can go several months without a feeding and not die. It takes a lot to kill a starter, unless it molds.
The Roman army was powered off bread. Wheat was hauled along behind the army, was ground into flour and baked with wood fires. It was a basic skill for centuries. American Indians still enjoy fry bread. Of course these days we would eat artesian bread given a choice and there are some great sour dough breads out there now. The recipe was stumbled upon by peasants and perfected over time. But alas these days most "men" could not butcher a hog without vomiting. Yes, another basic skill gone by the wayside.

What is "artesian" bread? Does it come out of a hole in the ground from the Great Bread Mountain in the horizon?
Or did you mean "artesan"?
Yeah, what did the Romans give us? Hmm.....

I was telling my wife about making SD bread and she found this site that sends out starter for free.
