Archibald
Since 2010
I was making chili to serve at the bar I was running and thought that I wanted to serve it in sourdough bread bowls, the rest is history
Characteristics
Archie blooms with a beautiful bouquet of bacteria and yeast slight tartness on the nose. Becomes vibrant with activity after a feeding or two. She is very hardy and makes bread with a lovely texture and deep flavors with nice nutty character
