I have baked yeast breads since 1973. After being diagnosed with diabetes, I hated the thought of giving up my bread. I found that sourdough has a lower glycemic level and is more gut healthy. Once I learned the process, I fell in love with the history, the skills, the variety of uses, the smell, the scoring, and especially the eating.

My starter loves feeding day and will double in just a few hours with a beautiful texture and smell.

I maintain my starter by feeding it every 2 weeks a 1:1:1 ratio of starter, flour, and water, usually 30 grams each. When ready to bake I increase these amounts to equal what the recipe calls for.

Çalışma yöntemi

I took a course from Theresa Greenway and followed her starter recipe that used pineapple juice for the first 4 days. I had to dehydrate it for a long illness but it came back to life a year later.

My starter remained nameless for years. Every time I grabbed it from the fridge, I was so happy to see it that I exclaimed 'Well, hello there!'. That phrase reminded me of when Hannibal Lector calls Clarice in the movie 'Silence of the Lambs' and says 'Hello, Clarice'.
