Good,  if this doesn't work in 30 mins,  do the yeast trick.  If the hot water doesn't work,  then I think the heat has over worked the starter,  and left no lifting power.

So I popped  the bread tin in the hot water totally forgetting that the lager tin has minute holes in the tin along the bottom so when I went back to look the water had completely covered the dough. The small tin now has a crust on it and may be growing mould in one corner!

I have now screwed the top on the jar of starter and put it in the fridge and am going to pack my bag for my flight to Coolangatta tomorrow morning.

Not giving up yet just postponing.

Boo Hoo, Gert.  This is very strange.  Have another go .  

Hope all goes well in Coolangatta,  much more important than Sour Dough.

Jen,  this looks perfect.  Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Such a shame Gert.  You put so much effort into that loaf.

Jen - well done, looks great.

So sorry to hear of your disaster Gretchen.  No-one can say you haven't tried to make sour dough and I applaud your tenacity to keep on trying.  Have a great break, forget about sourdough for the time being and just enjoy your time away with your family  :-* :-*

Yeah the second one.

I am wondering if the THERMOTHINGY was too full and worked the dough so hard that it overheated and killed the starter.the dough was quite warm when it came out. Maybe I will knead it by hand  next time.

Don't think this is the problem,   I am going to make some enquiries to see what others think.
