Our Daring Bakers Host for December 2011 was Jessica of My Recipe Project and she showed us how fun it is to create Sour Dough bread in our own kitchens! She provided us with Sour Dough recipes from Bread Matters by AndrewWhitley as well as delicious recipes to use our Sour Dough bread in from Tonia George’s Things on Toast and Canteen’s Great British Food!
Jessica of My Recipe Project gave us the task of making sourdough bread. I really wanted to try a gluten free sourdough loaf but a few failed attempts and a load of Christmas projects to finish pushed it from my mind. So all I have to offer is a sad picture of one of my moldy starters. I'd love if anyone could help me figure out why my rice flour starters got moldy and what I should do about it. Should I vinegar clean the bowl, boil the water first, get a different batch of rice flour? Oh well, maybe some other time I'll feel up to trying again. For those interested, the recipes can be found at our host Jessica's site, My Recipe Project, or on this PDF.

Oh petal, what a shame! I'd suggest trying a fresh batch of flour, but also making sure the starter isn't being kept too warm. That's from my own experience; I put the starter somewhere too hot, which killed off the yeast but not some other nasty bugs that made it go mouldy. Worth a shot anyway :)
