The kids loved this cake as much as I did!

I used rye flour for my first three feedings to "jump start" my starter, then switched to all-purpose flour. It is happy and active and makes great bread!

A great beginner loaf recipe that is easy to follow and has tasty results. I like to bake my loaf in a pre-heated Dutch oven for the first 25 minutes, then remove the lid and finish baking until the crust is golden brown, another 25 to 30 minutes. This helps trap some steam and give a nice form to the bread.
