Mama
Since 2017
I loved to eat bread with an irregular crumb and was fascinated by that. So i just had to learn!!
Characteristics
It tends to ferment quickly due to the wholemeal content. It is slightly acidic but leans more towards fruity notes and a sweet side as well.

This sourdough was made following the protocol provided by Puratos for their sourdough experiment. Only filtered water and their Tradition Francaise wholewheat flour was used. Only took 3 days before it was active enough to make a bread!
