In Switzerland bread is rarely made with sourdough. I was missing it as where so grew up it was the only way I knew.
Characteristics
It gives bread with crispy skin and elastic and soft flesh. It does not taste sour at al. In summer it smells more sour, in winter a delicate alcohol smell can be recognized. Bubbles in the bread are uniform and average size. Using this starter I make different breads, even the heavy dark bread with seeds and honey. Never had problem raising.

Working method

The starter comes from a 20 year old sourdough from Scharemberg traditional sourdough bakery. For more than 3 years now I cultivate it at home. It was originally wheat dough. But I am using “Klostermehl” that is a mix of wheat flour, rye flakes and rye flour. The flour comes from a local mill. To 150 ml of the sourdough I add every night 2 spoons of flour, and a small cup of cold tap water.
