Do you have 4 or 5 hours? After a career in commercial baking, mainly with wholegrains, starting in the 1970's we developed a market for sourdough. It was not until I began teaching that I dove deeply into sourdough culture.
Características
Essplanaderye is a work horse, reliable loyal and efficient. Born from the Champagne grapes growing in front of our friends' house it delivers a vigorous, hearty, slightlly tangy with more lactic notes and roasted malt in the breads it produces. The grandmother starter has been used to replace all the starters in our bakery and is the basis of the West Coast Wheat and The Mrs. White .

We used Champagne grapes from a vine in front our friends' house. on Esplanade Street in Chemainus, British Columbia Canada. We soaked them in water and waited 10 days to ferment. We then strained the grapes and added an equal amount of freshly ground Nunweiler's Rye to the fermented liquid.. It took off immediately and after basic care has become the 'grandmother of all our levains.
