I'd been baking bread for a few years, and started reading all I could find, both in books and on the 'net. Gradually I became intruiged by sourdough baking and made my first starter in 2006, which was just strong white flour and water. After that, I started experimenting using sourdough starters with different flours.

Características

It's a firm starter, that rises fairly quickly after feeding. It has a friendly, slightly sweet, fruity aroma, with a mild sour. Of the various starters I've had over the years, this one seems the least problematic; it leavens breads with various types of flour without issues, and it's fairly tolerant of additives such as sugar, or cinnamon. The flavour it imparts on the baked loaf is quite mild.

Diet change, I started using a mixture of flours comprised of: 40% tritordeum 40% durum wheat flour 10% wholemeal barley flour 10% wholemeal rye flour From now on, first reduce the starter to 120g. Then mix the starter with 30g of this flour mix, and 15g of water. Continue this routine daily until the starter is sufficiently active. After that, feeding the starter once a week will do.
