Yeezy Yeast
Since 2020
It all started as fun science experiment to teach my kids about microbes and how they are everywhere, even when we can’t see them. I thought it would be a good visualization to help them understand how viruses and bacteria live on every surface and everything we touch. My kids liked the taste of sourdough, so I switched from making yeasted doughs to naturally levained ones.
Characteristics
There’s a feminine quality to Yeezy. It is mild with orchard floral notes of peaches, nectarines, or honey dew. Sometimes it reminds me of skin warmed by the sun. When Yeezy it as at it’s peak, it smells of fresh yeasted sweet dough, like donuts.

I don’t like food waste, so I keep my starter small and keep the discard for baking. I use my small starter to build a levain when making bread. I maintain 20g of starter with a 1:1:1 ratio and add a tsp of wheatgerm for the yeast and nutrition without making the starter too acidic like rye and whole wheat flour. Once my starter has doubled, I keep it in the fridge.
