Overnight Sally Sourdough...

I followed Celia's tutorial for this bread...

I began feeding my Sally starter on Friday afternoon but she was still sluggish yesterday so I just tipped that out and started again. Naughty Sally!

~

So starting over, at 1pm I fed 1/2 cup of starter with 1/4 cup bakers flour and water...

4.30pm I fed it 1/2 cup flour and water...

Then I promply forgot about it as I got busy making dinner later thst evening. It wasn't until we were going to bed that I remembered it. 

~

I peered in at Sally and she was nicely bubbly and ready to party!

So at 11pm (!) I am mixing dough in my mixer, crazy lady style!

~

Sally had risen to the top of my big bowl this morning ~ good girl!

~

I decided I'd make a pistachio and cranberry loaf and a plain loaf...

~ 

Deliciously fluffy dough plopped out of the bowl...

~

I folded in the thirds...

~

...and divided it in two.

~

I shaped the first loaf just by gently pulling the outer edged into the middle, round and around...

~

...then plopped it into the cane banneton which I hope I have floured enough!

~

The second loaf, I massaged in some pistachios and cranberrys, just turning the fruit and nuts in until they disappeared, then added more to do the same. 

~

I have no idea how this will turn out but we'll give it a go.

~

Here it is all combined...

~

Both loaves ready to prove...

~

Hooray! It came out of the banneton without sticking! Happy dance!

~

Celia says to "slash with panache"...

~

~

45 minutes later...

~

Yum!

I sliced it immediately to see how it was. I'm hoping the fruit/nut distribution will be better through the middle of the loaf.

It is delicious!
