My fiancé - we both love sourdough and she essentially challenged me! On 30 August 2023 I took a sterilised jar and walked with it open throughout the house and garden that I grew up in to inoculate it with the wild yeast from my home. I named it 'Crugybara', a play on the village I grew up in, Crugybar, and the Welsh word for bread 'bara'. This is essentially 'home bread' to me.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

It took a very long time to become 'reliable'. Even still it can be quite slow to reach peak but when it does it's super bubbly, very aromatic and tastes quite yoghurty. It's very pale and after a few days unfed in the fridge it smells very alcoholic.

Aufarbeitung

1
I started with a sterilised, sealed jar. I then walked with the jar open around my childhood house and garden to inoculate it with wild yeast. I added 40g of tap water, 36g of strong white bread flour and 4g of wholegrain flour. Mixed it thoroughly and left to begin fermenting somewhere warm.

After 2 days, I discarded 3/4 of the contents of the jar and added 30g of tap water, 27g of strong white bread flour and 3g of wholegrain flour. Mixed this thoroughly and returned somewhere warm to continue fermenting. I repeated this for about 2 weeks until the sourdough was very active. I then transferred it to the fridge where it now lives. It comes out before I bake, and goes back afterwards.
