Sweet Bread Starter Hamburger Buns

[KBFlyer]

Needed to revive my starter so made a batch of hamburger buns.

Waiting to get proofed.

One dozen buns out of the oven.

Had left over dough and froze some for later when needed. Just thaw and let them rise and bake like normal.

Wow those look great! I dont use my starter much anymore but found it can go months and come back to life within hours of feeding again.

Yes I have left mine in the back of the fridge for almost a year and after two feedings it came back to full strength. I also have lots dehydrated in the freezer as a back up. :)

Well now....I have one in the refrigerator I let go after forgetting about it. Been 6 months. I'll try to revive it.

I really don't think you can really kill a starter unless you use to hot of water to revive it. They say 110 F is max. I use a lot lower like 95-100 F just to be safe.
I also find patients is needed on old starter. Sometimes it takes several feedings. If you see any kind of action, small bubbles then it will take off down the line.

I am thinking of adding just a pinch of dextrose in the first feeding or 2....to really revive it.....

And you have some nice buns.

This is a well established starter.
Had a little Mt St Helens last night.
