I started experimenting with sourdough after my mum and sisters complained about the ingredients in store bought bread. My mum baked her own bread when we were little. So it felt a nice way of giving back to her. Now she adopted some of my starter and started baking again. At first I was very impatient and scared of messing it up, but now it has become a natural part of my life.

特性

normally I feed my sourdough at night and leave it at room temp for 8h. Then it smells like good apple cider and is nice and bubbly. My starter has matured a lot and the smell has gotten more depth. And I've noticed that it doesn't need the whole 8h after feeding anymore. The fermentation is speeding up.

喂养配料

I store my sourdough in the fridge. I've fed it with different flours over the years as an experiment but now I start with 100 gr starter and feed it 125 gr whole spelt, 125 gr T65 and 300 gr water. But ofcourse it depends on how many loaves I intend to bake, but I never trow any of my starter away. I try to feed the exact amount for what I need + 100gr to use as starter again.

制作方法

I started of with a wheat sourdough starter that I made from mixing same amount of water (35C) and whole wheat flour with my fingers. Keeping it in a glas jar under a tea cosy next to hot water bottle in my closet

30g Wholewheat 30g Water

next day I added the same amount of water (35C)and flour and put it back in the closet
