June 11, 2017This recipe is a godsend for a beginner sourdough baker who seems to end up with lots of starter.
I made this but left out the fruit mix and added raisin and currants instead. I also decreased the amount of sugar and tho good, it was still way too sweet for my preference. I'll definitely make this again but need to explore what to substitute for leaving out a full cup of sugar. It also received raves from people I shared it with.
