As of this morning Doc's is back up and going. Ed put a note in Local Chat that
his UPS and power supply had blown chunks. That will tend to darken the monitor
screen until things are put right. I've never done the NNTP for Fido ...
on-line (Doc's & Fidotel) dial-up (in the old days when we actually had local
BBSes) and Tel-Net (which is like dialing in except over the internet) to
Holodeck (holo.homeip.net), Outpost (outpost.slyip.net) which is Sean Dennis'
board, and Janis Kracht's Prism (filegate.net) are what I check regularly. If I
were doing long-distance dial-up I think I'd stick with Janis' board. I can
log-in, grab my download packet and log-out in under 20 seconds.   Bv)=

      Title: The Doctor's Sourdough Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 18 servings
 
      1 c  Sourdough Starter
      2 c  Warm Water
      2 c  Warm Milk
      1 tb Butter
      1 pk Active Dry Yeast
    1/4 c  Honey
      7 c  Unbleached Flour
    1/4 c  Wheat Germ
      2 tb Sugar
      2 ts Salt
      2 ts Baking Soda
 
  Mix the starter and 2 1/2 Cups of the flour and all
  the water the night before you want to bake. Let stand
  in warm place overnight. Next morning mix in the
  butter with warm milk and stir in yeast until until
  dissolved.  Add honey and when thoroughly mixed, add 2
  more cups of flour, and stir in the wheat germ.
  Sprinkle sugar, salt, and baking soda over the
  mixture. Gently press into dough and  mix lightly.

  Allow to stand from 30 to 50 minutes until mixture is
  bubbly.  Add enough flour until the dough cleans the
  sides of the bowl. Then place the dough on a lightly
  floured board and knead 100 times or until silky
  mixture is developed.

  Form into 4 1-lb loaves, place in well-greased loaf
  pans 9" x 3" size.  Let rise until double, about 2
  to 3 hours in a warm room.

  Then bake in hot oven, 400øF/205øC, for 20 minutes.

  Reduce oven temperature to 325øF/160øC. and bake 20
  minutes longer or until thoroughly baked. Remove from
  pans and place loaves on rack to cool.

  Butter tops of loaves to prevent hard crustiness.

  Makes 4 1-lb Loaves
