After all the waiting for the starter to do it's thing, I finally have sour dough bread. Believe me...It was worth the wait. If you don't remember I used this recipe here. I got it a little brown but man it's great. The crust was really hard when we got it out of the oven but after cooling over night it was just right. I never knew that could happen. I thought it was just gonna be tough but the next morning it was fine. If any of you give this recipe a try please let me know you yours turns out too.
Warren ask in a comment on the last post about my smoking and my cokes. Thank you Warren for asking and I am doing some better the last few days. The numbers I was posting just seemed to make it harder for me and I felt that i was letting others down each day I posted my results. I will start next week, on Monday, posting better results for us all. Thank Warren for asking about it. I was hoping...I mean thinking everyone had forgot about it. LOL
I am sorry I have been so long answering comments.....I have been busy helping out some friends. Is that a good enough excuse???? Thanks for staying with me.

Joanna, I am proud of the bread. Baking is not really my strong point but I am learning as I continue to try. Thanks.
Gen, give this bread a try. Like Joanna said "it's worth the time". Nothing like good fresh bread....and the smell of it too. Thanks for being such a faithful reader.
Scout, pork loin would be just the thing this bread needs. What time do we eat man. I'm on my way...
Thank you all so much for your comments. They just make my day.

Chris, that bread is gorgeous, I see there is more than one baker in the house!
Just do what you can on the cig and coke thing - it will take a while and everyone is pulling for you. Hang in there, buddy!
I was just going to ask you how the Coke and smoke thing was going! I've been hoping that you are still hanging in there and doing better.
Oh, the bread looks great. I will be so glad to get a full size oven in order to bake again.
