This time I let it cool overnight and added some to the starter first. <br /><br />I'm not sure how much wild yeast you might find on bean skins, especially since they've been washed and blanched already, but I only have one metal bowl, so the water was mixed.<br /><br />The starter was made with potato water to begin with.

Is this bean water clear, like from green beans or thick and opaque like navy bean liquid? <br /><br />Long ago, I used a banana bread recipe and powdered eggs I had. The bread was only about 1 1/4 inch high. But, it was delicious. A friend begged me to make it for him all the time. The banana bread was not pretty or normal looking, but it is the best I have ever had or made. If you have any rum, substitute that in double the amount of vanilla called for. Stores used to sell rum flavoring with alcohol. Now, it all artificial flavoring.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
