Hi Angela, the site I got the sourdough starter from is called www.freebake.co.uk. I also bought a box of sachets of yeast and a bag of bread improver. This is essentially gluten and you replace a tenth of the flour you would use with the bread improver. It helps to aereate the dough, making it more elastic and therefore it rises more and the bread is less solid than it can be. Like your Bob, I am really enjoying making bread the 'old fashioned way', ie not using a bread maker. I made some rolls today, lovely, soft, well risen .....! Helen x
