Gennarino
Since 2020
Attempt to recreate my beloved Italian bread in Germany.
Characteristics
Gennarino is extremely lively and versatile. It can convert in Liquid sourdough and in sweet sourdough. It is very aromatic with a light sour note which is what I personally search in a "sour"dough, although it's not too dominant. I never used any other ingredient beyond flour and water, although I may change flour brand from time to time. But I always choose certified organic bread flour.

I started Gennarino in Germany during the first lockdown in April 2020, then I brought it to Naples in summer to strengthen and the Neapolitan flour (Caputo) , warmth and Neapolitan water did the miracle (therefore its name from Naaple's patron).
Gennarino has a very light sour note and aromatic, is extremely lively and can "starve" in the fridge for full 3 weeks.
Gennarino is organic.
