Sourdough Starter- Day 1- I use a clean largemouth quart size canning jar add ½ cup room temperature water and ½ cup regular flour and mix well. Place a cheese cloth or coffee filter on top and secure with the ring or a rubber band so the mixture can breathe. Set it on the counter. Day 2- Stir in another ½ cup water and ½ cup flour cover again until the next day. Day 3- Today your starter may have some bubbles this is a good thing, there may even be some liquid on the top, this is normal. Give it a stir and remove ¾ cup of the starter and place in a different clean jar. The remainder is called discard; you can cover it and place in the refrigerator to use in different discard recipes. Now back to the ¾ cup you placed in the clean jar, feed it with ½ cup water and enough flour to create a lumpy mixture that resembles a thick pancake batter. Do not over mix leave some lumps. Cover with a breathable cover again securing with the jar ring or rubber band. Repeat this for Day 4 and 5. Day 6 you will need to do this process twice, once in the morning and once at night, now place a mark on the jar or place a rubber band around the jar to measure where the starter is. Day 7- If your starter is growing and bubbly and had doubled in size you are ready to bake bread, if not remove and feed twice a day to give it 1 or 2 more days. Remember after day 2 every time you feed the starter you have to remove ½ cup and discard before feeding.
Sourdough Bread- ½ cup starter, 1 ½ cup warm water, not hot, mix well the add 4 cups regular flour that has 2 teaspoons salt added prior. Mix well, cover and place in an area away from air-condition such as the oven (not heated) or if you are in the rv place in the cab. This needs 4-6 hours to rise, stretching every 30 minutes. To stretch all you do is wet your hands and pull one end up as far as you can then fold it over and do this on all 4 sides the cover and repeat every 30 minutes for 2 hours. Cover and allow to rest the remainder of the 4-6 hours. At this time place on a floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Place in a very lightly floured bowl with the bottom facing up. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. To Bake in the RV convection oven: preheat the oven 425 with a pan of water on the bottom to keep moisture in the oven along with what you will be baking your bread in. When it reaches the temperature remove the pan and lid place parchment paper in the baking dish then place the bread on the parchment paper and score your loaf using a razor blade cover and place in the oven covered 40 minutes and uncovered 20 minutes. Remember to keep the water in the oven the complete time you are baking the bread.
Place your pork loin in a crockpot and cook until done. This is great when you are leaving for the day to have dinner almost ready when you get home.
