Since 2004

I got a bread book for Christmas one year and it had a section on sourdough. I had tried to make sourdough in the past but didn't really understand how to care for it but now I wanted to learn. I am still learning all these years later.

Characteristics

My sourdough bread is not a terribly sour bread. It has a nutty flavour with a waxy open crumb.

Recipe

Starting ingredients

  • g 60
  • % Flour

Feeding ingredients

1

Working method

1
Depending on how much I starter I need I will measure out the starter first into a clean container that has a lid.
g 60
2
Next I weigh out the flour needed. I try to use the same flour each time, however since the COVID19 crisis I have not been able to get my regular flour but it is still an all purpose flour. 60 grams for a single batch works good.
% Flour
3
I measure out an equal amount of water as the flour and add it to the container too. I then mix the starter, water and flour very well until it is smooth and leave it on the counter until it is active.

The bread that i bake changes each time I bake. I like to use different flours and ingredients but always with sourdough.
