To make a sourdough starter...

[Tickle]

...all the recipes I can find say put it somewhere warm ,28 degrees or so, overnight or for 24 hrs.

Now, we don't have a boiler, or an aga, or any especially warm spots in the house.

Do I take it under the duvet with me or will it work at 18 degrees but just take 3 days instead???

Insights most welcome

...anyone?

I love sourdough, there are some good recipes here breadworld

Thanks for that link alibubbles

Anyone else got any thoughts on the temperature thing?

we always just covered it with plastic wrap and put on the window sill in the sun....having a quick flick through my books about half say room temp and half say 80F - 90F (28Cish).

Sourdough is one of the things I really miss from the States.

thank you i will give it a go!

at Monterey CF!!

I'll let you know how I get on ...
