The Resurreced
Since 2020
I loved sourdough as a kid, but there are hardly any bakeries that sell it in Japan, so I decided to make my own with the time I had during the pandemic.
Characteristics
I like a sour-sourdough, so adding rye flour really gives it a nice sour tang. Using strong bread flour gives it a nice rise and very sticky, thick, and paste-like texture. When ripe, it smells tangy and a bit fruity (sour apple?). Very reliable and resilient.
