My husband loves bread and I've always wanted to learn to bake sourdough bread for our enjoyment. I also wanted to enjoy the good flours available to for breadmaking..

Caratteristiche

I'm not really a very experienced baker but I am able to produce a good bread with my sourdough. It is very active, up to 3X the volume in 4 -5 hours. It is able to lie dormant in the fridge or become active after I feed it. Reliable. Makes a wonderful Japanese Hokkaido bread - a staple for us right now.

Metodo di lavorazione

My starter is a blend of All purpose flour (Rogers brand) 50% and Hard Red wheat 50%. Occasionally also add a bit of traditional rye. The Red Wheat and Rye comes from a local organic farm in Agassiz. The addition of the red wheat flour was what made my starter quite active.
