It is amazing stuff. I got a pot out of the frdige this morning that has been in there for at least 6 weeks.Gave it a feed and put it on my PC (excellent place for rising bread!) and it is going like the clappers..
Do you think i should feed it for a few days before trying to use it for bread without yeast?
Yesterday i was given some Herman for a german friendship cake can i use some of this to make bread?

It is sweet so watch out to not add more sugar to the dough! I fed my herman with more flour and milk and just a pinch of sugar and now it is great bread starter. You might want to feed it up with just flour and milk and after a few days use that as your starter. I usually cheat and add a pinch of yeast (means that out of one pouch of yeast I make 4 batches instead of two!) and the starter for bread, but on Saturday I ran out of yeast! So I made hot cross buns with just the starter and they came out very well.
Can I also ask everyone whether they have combined a sourdough starter with a (sharp intake of breath anticipated) breadmaker recipe????
