The compulsory daily feeding of the starter used to push me away. However, I found out that I do not have to feed it daily after the starter is mature, then this has become a totally different game. So my sourdough conquest began. My very first starter was conquered by yucky molds , but that actually got me so excited to study the microbiome and the best environment for the starter.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

It has a strong floral aroma resembling rose by itself, sweet-nut based tone like pecan or hazelnut when baked to sourdough. My friends think it has the aroma like a fancy coffee, as it grew up in my coffee-cart.

Aufarbeitung

It actually Started with only rye, following the robdunnlab.com protocol, which was great! However, the acidity of the sourdough bread was too high for my preference, so I combined it with my 100% whole wheat (which was only sweet malt taste) at the above ratio to get both sides of the world.
