I was writing a food blog and wanted to try my hand at sourdough a second time after a failed experience involving a starter sloshing around in my car. When I made the sourdough for my blog and then made the bread, I found I was in love. I haven't looked back. The slow, intricate process follows the theme of my business.

Características

Inspired by a spunky character from classic American Literature, Pearl gets her namesake from the creamy pearl color of her ingredients. She is often fed with All-Purpose flour from Pennsylvania grown and milled hard red winter wheat or King Arthur AP Flour. Purified Drinking Water is her usual drink, but sometimes she imbibes with commercial craft beer when she's used in biscuits & beer bread.

método de trabajo

I feed Pearl usually once a day as I use her everyday for made-to-order breads. She receives equal parts All-Purpose Flour and Purified Drinking Water with 20% Mature Starter. The water is at room temperature, but during the winter, I move Pearl to a warmer room (70F). I feed her in the morning according to the amount needed for orders. She is mixed and stored in a clay pot to rise for 8-12 hours.
