Since 2015

I missed rustic breads after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 20 years.

Characteristics

Changes throughout the year. In the summer time when the relative humidity and temperature is much higher Otohiko is much more active and can climb the sides of the proofing jar twice as high as in the winter. In the winter it is a denser bread whilst in the summer it can have bigger air pockets. It is a mild flavour and can get a solid crust.
