I didn't use any of my sourdough starter in this one, although it did have a hunk or old sourdough dough I'd saved from the previous batch (which reminds me I forgot to stash a hunk in the fridge this round).

It's nearly gone, so I guess it's probably time to crank up another batch ... Hey Kristi — it’s a little bit sour.
