I have a recipe from the internet which, I have yet to try, that calls for "corn flour". I did a Google search and it said it was corn starch, which I doubt that is what is meant in this recipe. I liked the recipe as the starter was made the night before, not saved or stored. Since I don't make homemade bread that often this appealed to me as I didn't need to feed or store starter for long periods of time. Can anyone tell me where I could get corn flour?

I have just made a starter with NO package yeast, 'catch wild yeast' like in the old days. I put my jar on the counter and opened the window while the breeze brought in the wild yeast to 'make' my starter. Amazingly it worked perfect for me. http://www.reformationacres.com/2010...h-starter.html
Sign up for her newsletter and get the chart to make just the amount of starter you need for a recipe. I made tortillas yesterday and they are crazy easy to make with 3/4 cup of starter. http://www.reformationacres.com/?s=tortillas |
It definitely multiplies!

Onebyone that is interesting. Never heard of that but great idea.

Corn flour is sold as "masa harina" around here.

I am curious if this is true? ,
my friend told me that sour dough bread made in the east coast will always be different than the west coast because we have a different species of bacteria here and even if the correct bacteria is brought from the west coast our dominant bacteria still takes over the process. I have never made sour dough bread so haven't a clue if this is correct does anyone on the forum know? |
