I love baking bread, and just wanted to try something different during the pandemic, like many others. I love the taste of store-bought sourdough, and wanted to try to make it myself.

Características

Khal rises fairly quickly when fed, usually tripling in size in about 8 hours. He has a lovely dark color and plenty of bubbles. It's fairly thick, and not too runny. He makes a delicious, tangy bread, and you can truly taste the sourness. The apple and the whole wheat flour give Khal quite the lovely flavor!

113g Flour

113g Starter

I begin by measuring out 113g of stone ground, whole wheat flour (preferably TAM 105 from Barton Springs Mill) into a bowl. I then measure out 113g of my active starter and add it to the bowl. I then measure out 113g of water and add it to the bowl, stirring it all until there's no dry flour left. I then return it to a clean jar for storage.
