Don't overbake it or underbake it. Glaze it with a light layer of margarine or oil.
>any advice for getting a sourdough culture started?
Mix flour with water and leave it out for a few days. Spoon the culture into smaller containers and refrigerate, use it to seed new sourdough cultures faster by adding it to flour/water.

Pay attention to this OP it's extremely important. A lot of small business owners ignore the bookkeeping aspect of business and more often than not this is what makes or breaks an enterprise. And if it's over your head hire a bookkeeper but for fucks sake if don't have a clue DO NOT do it yourself or hire your retarded slam piece to handle it; because more often than not you'll have creditors breathing down your neck.

I want to make 100% wholewheat dinner rolls but the dough never rises fully. I dont want to add any white flour i just want 100% wholewheat. Do i just leave it to prove for longer so it rises more or should i double the quantity of yeast? Right now i leave it to prove for 1 hour but in comparison to white flour it only rises half as much thats why i was thinking either wait 2 hours or double the yeast or Is there another trick?
