As a Chef ,Always fascinated by the mystery of wild yeast. last year while I was watching some You Tube videos about sour dough bread making , I decided to make my own starter and I did it successfully , still a long way to go!!

Caratteristiche

To be honest I never used any other starter in my life, even this is my first experience of making my own from the scratch, and till today never had a problem. It seems like very active after every feeding . Takes lesser time to get active when I am using rye flour for feeding. I believe it gives a unique sourish woody flavor to my bake!!

Metodo di lavorazione

Fadougou is a 3 year old starter which I started from the scratch, using the tips available in the books.I started my culture with rye and Now I have whole wheat, and Type 405 (white) starters with me. All are bubbly and active with a pleasant wild smell .Feeding regularly and at least 4 days in a week I bake with my favorites . Always gives me the best results. Pictures are in my Instagram.
