We would love it if anyone has it. The recipe is: 1/2 oil 1/4 brown sugar 1 1/2 warm water 1T. salt 5-7 cups flour It makes 3 loafes and you divide starter in half,etc, etc. But we liked it because it was made with brown sugar. If anyone has this or a similiar recipe I would be greatful! My Mom has this recipe, but not the starter recipe. We would love it if anyone has it.

I've always wondered why bread (the staff of life, for cryin' out loud!) is supposed to be so <i>bad</i> for us, when people throughout history practically <i>lived</i> on bread up until now. Even more reason for me to get my sourdough starter going...my FIL was diabetic and I keep expecting my husband to come up with diabetes any day now....he's a real snack/sugar fiend. Aha!

In another bowl mix flour, baking powder, soda and chocolate chips. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and let rest at least 15 min (for even better benefits let it ferment for 1-12 hours) at room temperature. Shape into walnut-sized balls and then flatten (I use a highball type glass dipped in sugar). Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly before taking off the cookie sheet. This will make about 4 dozen (and every single one of them was eaten by my neices and nephews who had no idea that they were eating somewhat healthful cookies). Hope you enjoy! A website I have used to get sourdough and fermented recipies from is www.rejoiceinlife.com This is a recipe that I have used to make sourdough cookies before with good results.

Let me know when it's out. Didn't know about brown sugar being beet sugar at some point. Figures that it could have been before "processed everything". Guess you'd have to do some deep digging to learn anything. It would be nice to find out that it's still made that way somewhere. Well, it was a recipe I was after but can wait for your cookbook.
