Subj : Sourdough Whole-Wheat Biscuits To : Ben Collver From : Ruth Haffly Date : Sun Jun 04 2023 15:49:36 Hi Ben, RH> years of bronchitis and pneumonia). Doing better now so maybe I'll make RH> a pizza some time next week. Maybe once we get our sourdough revived RH> (froze it before travel), I'll do a sourdough crust--have done so before RH> with whole wheat flour and it is good. BC> Welcome back from Alaska. Great that you are doing better. I did not BC> know about freezing starter to put it on pause. I will experiment BC> with that. We've also dehydrated it to pause it when in the midst of a military move. Steve actually revived it yesterday, made some pancakes for himself. Neither of us are eating a lot right now, basically subsistance foods (canned soup, eggs) but getting a bit better every day. BC> While reading an outdoors book, i read a reference to old Forest BC> Service Lookout cookbooks. Below is a link to online versions. They BC> mention BC> that a regular diet of quick bread (such as biscuits, pancakes, etc.) BC> is not wholesome, and that sourdough is healthier. BC> u-s-forest-service-publications/general-publications/post-6930/> Interesting idea, might look into that a bit more. Somewhere around in this house we've got a Forest Service Lookout cookbook--put out for their 50th anniversary. I'll find it (eventually) and see what it says about sourdough. Right now we've got to get rid of this crud and get ready for the mission trip to VT, with a stop in western NY beforehand. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
