When are you coming over to show me the ropes? Swap beer for knowledge. You know me, I love to make good food to go with the beer.Sour dough sounds right up my ally.I like that it can be used as a pizza base as well.God we have to get together and organise a food and beer dinner party. Bugger it , lets just open a brew pub on my deck.

Ok Katie will make a Hot and sour eggplant curry. If we can get some sort of tile or brick in your oven we could have a loaf ready to bake, and maybe some sourdough pizza bianca (herb and oil flat bread). I'll organise some ready to go and we can get one going for you to bake over the next couple of days (SD prooves pretty slowly which makes it even better). Can we brew aswell? :icon_vomit:

Made my first successful sourdough a few weeks ago. Now, for a bloke who started working life as a baker making sourdough should come easy right? Ah ahh, nope it goes against all one learnt about conventional baking. Even had some personal coaching from a pro from a commercial sourdough bakery, he wasn't a baker, but had learn't the process working in the bakery so his tips were sort of "you do this and do this like that, you see". No good for me, I wanted to understand the process not just be shown how, that only works so long as there are no variants, I wanted to know why, my training would allow me to take it in if explained in the correct terms. Once I had gleaned info from sites listed previously in this thread the process of gluten development required for sourdough fell into place for me. Made two great loaves which took us 2 weeks to get through. Kept wrapped in a teatowl it was fresh to the last slice. Really pleased with my efforts, will taks my starter out of the fridge tomorrow and get ready for batch# 2, looking forward to it.

The oven is 900mm wide fan forced etc.I have some Bali stone tiles , I think its like sandstone, they are about 25mm thick.I dont know how they will handle the heat? Explosion!!!! I might grab a few and give them a go.If you dont hear back from me you know its not good.I can make a" mushroom meat" rogan josh. :icon_drool2izza sounds good too. If you want to bring some beers we can match beer to the food.Did I hear you say Curry and IPA and that you will make the IPA?

I'm a ****** wherethis is concerned. A true IPA can be nothing else. It was only the ENGLISH who had to send their beer to India.
