I'll bet it does.  Been about 10 years since I visited the Refuge, but only about 7 since I drove by it. :)

I need a road trip once, and that would be a great place to start, but it'll have to wait until I get a job.

OU, this is the rolls that I made from the leftover starter mix..



I warmed up some that left over pulled chuck roll



Added some mac n cheese.

[OU812]

That looks like some good eats there CRG.

Love a pulled sammie with penos and onions too.

That is quite a pile of mac n cheese, makin me hungry.

Cant wait to get my hands dirty makin some of those rolls.

[classicrockgriller]

Got your Starter all sealed up and it is very active which is good.

[classicrockgriller]

Gonna send this out tomorrow morn (Sat) and you will have it Monday.

[OU812]

SWEET

I got some King Arther headin my way.

Damn shippin was more than the flour.

You gotta what do what you gotta do.

[BuyLowSellHigh]

That's the problem with shipping flour - product is cheap, shipping isn't.  As an alternative you might try Pillsbury's Better for Bread.  This was reformulated last year to be the same as their Harvest King commercial product made for Artisan bakers.  I prefer KAF, but the Pillsbury is a close 2nd.

[classicrockgriller]

Sent this out this morning and they assured me it would get there Monday.

I will think about the best way to check the starter to make sure it didn't die on the road trip.

I also will type you up some instructions so you can copy them

and have them in your hand when you are doing this.

You might want to see if you can get the Pillsbury's Better for Bread flour as a 5 lb bag only does about

2 loads of bread.

I made a new batch of rolls and bread yesterday.

Will post you some pics in a while.

[classicrockgriller]

It made 15 LARGE rolls and a loaf of bread.

[OU812]

Your killin me with those pictures of that fresh bread.

Gonna check and see if I can find the Pillsbury flour when we get home.

[classicrockgriller]

Brought some of this Bread to an older couple in the next town.

The wife didn't wait till I left to eat two rolls.

She said, bring more.

Told her I'd bring her some starter. ;D

Curt, when you get home, take your starter and empty as much as you can in a bowl.

To the bowl add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cup of the Bread flour.

Take 1 cup of warm (100*) water (preferably distilled or filtered) and put some in the pkg

the starter came in and stir it around and pour in the bowl, then add rest of the water to the bowl.

Stir up, Mix well.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let stand overnite.

Tuesday Morning:

Take a qt jar and put a cup of water in it and mark where the cup line comes to.

Empty out the water and put 1 cup of starter in the jar.

It's easier to use a Table spoon or serving spoon.

Put a tight lid on jar and put in fridge.

This time discard the rest of the stuff you mixed up .....

or you can take another jar, mark your cup line and make a second starter.

That might not be a bad idea and you can chose which ever starter

is the most active when you make bread.

We are going to let the starter rest in fridge a couple of days.

Again, you got my number, call if you need me.

Am going to Houston and will be back about 4:00 or so.

ITS HERE!

Called the wife a little wile ago and she said I got a package from this guy in Texas is on my desk, I asked her to put in the fridge.

She said why?

I said shut up and do it.   

Just kiddin.  ::)

I told her it was some starter to make fresh bread.

I think she wet her self.

Just kiddin  ;D

She sounded excited for some fresh baked bread and wanted to know when we were goin to make it.

Its all for me.

Just kiddin  :D

I said it will take a couple weeks to get things rollin.

Just kiddin  ;D

She said I'm goin to hang up now cause I'm tired of your $hit.

Funny how she dont see things as I do. :P

Now to see if I can find the Pillsbury Bread Flour.

[classicrockgriller]

Gold Medal makes a brand called "Better Bread".

It is unbleached and unbromated.

So you want:

#1 KA Bread Flour if not then,

#2 Pillsbury's Better for Bread if not then,

#3 Gold Medal Better Bread if not then,

#4 KA all purpose flour


NO SELF RISING FLOUR!
