Baking this bread is part of my husband's family history. This starter has been in his family since the 1800s. His pioneer ancestors used this starter to make the bread that fueled their 2,000 mile trek from New England to Utah. It has been in the family ever since then.
Caractéristiques
It smells floral and fruity and makes delicious breads and pancakes. To me it tastes a bit like pineapple. It doesn't tend to get that sour, even if the dough is refrigerated while proofing.

Knead it for about 15 minutes by hand, let sit on the counter until bubbly (1-2 hours) or in the fridge for up to 12 hours.

Then shape it and let sit for about 2 more hours, until risen. I usually put it in a loaf pan and wait until it is 1 inch above the lip of the pan.

Bake it at 350 F for 45 minutes.
