Sourdough is awesome

mrsbrownI prefer to eat sourdough bread. The sort that's firm and chewy. So when we got back from Festival I decided to keep my sourdough starter going and make bread rolls for lunch each day.
OMG! Sourdough breadmaking is so easy now I understand it!
Each evening I pour the starter into a bowl with 2 cups of flour, half a cup of water, a bit of salt and some quick oats (not keen on just white bread, but I haven't bought any rye yet). I knead it for about 2 minutes and, because the starter is already glutenised, the bread is then ready to form into rolls. I form rolls and put the tray into the oven to rise.
I then put a cup of flour and a cup of water into my starter jar and leave it on the bench until the next night.
In the morning I turn on the oven as I head to the shower and 25 minutes later the rolls are ready to go into the cloth sack I have for carrying hot roll to work. The rest are left on the table for the others to use for lunch. I'm only making 6 rolls.
If anyone would like some of my starter, I'm happy to share.
