After about two weeks, it was behaving the way I am led to expect. Today, I started my first sourdough recipes. The first one, from this morning, is using Clever Carrot&#8217;s Irish soda bread recipe using sourdough discard (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theclevercarrot.com\/2021\/03\/sourdough-irish-soda-bread-ina-garten\/\">https:\/\/www.theclevercarrot.com\/2021\/03\/sourdough-irish-soda-bread-ina-garten\/<\/a>). Since I can&#8217;t eat eggs, I replaced the egg with a flax egg (1 Tbs ground flax seed and 2.5 Tbs water and let it sit for five minutes). I think this may be why it didn&#8217;t completely bake in 45 minutes. I ended up baking it for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. After 45 minutes, I put some aluminum foil on the bread to keep it from burning. It still ended up super dense, but it tasted great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shofutex.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/soda_bread.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sourdough discard Irish soda bread<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It turned out super tasty!
