I like the history of sourdough breads, and the connection to baking traditions of the past.

I bake bread infrequently, so I tend to keep my starter in the fridge as a very dry dough, and only take it out to feed it every month. I keep it out for a couple of days to make sure it's still healthy, then add enough flour to make a stiff dough, and refrigerate it again in a glass jar.
70% Flour
Método de trabalho
1
Began with the Paul Hollywood recipe using an organic apple peel (unwashed) as the source of wild yeasts (my apple came from the garden of a colleague called Valerie, hence the name of my starter).
20% Organic apple peel

Added grated apple peel to an equal mix of flour and water, then allowed to sit until first bubbles appeared.

Reduced by half and fed with more flour and water as per most recipes - with each feeding, amount of apple peel decreased, until after about 10 feedings, there was no actual apple left in the starter. The starter had an apple-y smell for quite a while afterwards, though!
