Well, I might not have taken 3 days if I had not kept forgetting, but it worked so well I might just try it again! I love the slight sourdough tang the poolish gives the bread. I will try to replicate this with some oatmeal and rye in the mix next time, I love oatmeal bread.

Oh now, don’t go pointing your hips at me!
I like your tip of covering the soda farls on the pan which I now do, really helps in giving fluffier inner. 3day bread looks good, great texture.

If you are interested in my journey through sourdough, I blogged a lot of my experiments back in 2008 on another blog "Lynne's Days", hope you find them interesting! You really should give it a go, it is most satisfying.

Hi again-again!
I thought you would have it already sorted!
While I only use the starter for cake I am
planning a sourdough loaf soon as I find the
time!!

Best regards..David.

Yes I have, I make my own sourdough bread from time to time, so I have a white starter that I could use if I choose. would make a good fruit loaf I would think

Hi, David again!
Just a thought, have you ever come across Herman cake (sometimes called Friendship cake)?
It is really fun to make. Basically traditionally a friend gives you a sealed container containing
the starter that you feed (a bit like making ginger beer).
I can send you the method if you wish, and the method to make your own yeast based starter.

Regards David.

Well firstly, no reason whatever to apologise for being male and loving cooking! And what a fabulous idea to soak the bread in cold tea.. I use tea a lot to soak sultanas and raisins for fruit cake but never thought of using it for bread pudding. I will certainly try it out next time. Thank you!

Hi, I am a male but I LOVE cooking!
I have been making bread pud for years! Just like you I never make the pud by weight
always use what I can find around the kitchen.
Only one major difference though I use cold tea for the soak! Why not try it and see how
you get on!

Best regards, David.
