Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a thread for FAQ’s for noobs? I just picked up a starter from a local bread company for some pretzels and I don’t even know where to start.

To be honest, I’m not sure I even know what starter is. I watched a YouTube video on how to feed it, but am I supposed to combine the two now? The YouTube video had a small portion, can I do larger portions so it doesn’t take forever to get a good bit or is this meant to be a slow arduous process?

Is there any books you guys can recommend me to read? I’ve been having fun with the idea of baking things, I’ve been on the breadit trying to get some inspiration, I’m making the pretzels tomorrow the dough is in the fridge.

Any good cook books? I think I’m hitting a 1/3 life crisis and getting into things like making pizza, grilling, baking, etc.
