Love for eating good bread. Having had success with no-knead bread I was interested in trying wild fermented bread. As a scientist it is a big free experiment.
Caratteristiche
It is fairly mellow in sourness. It is very sturdy and versatile, since I can use different flours to make varying starters. It is easy to keep alive, and thus has been shared with many friends, something of which I'm proud. It is active and creates a good airy crumb.

Take mother out of fridge, discard (or use to make a starter for baking) all but the amount needed. Leave out for an hour and return to fridge. The mother is more like a backup and never used straight. The mother is fairly dry but keeps well.

Metodo di lavorazione
1
Based on the book bien cuit, it took months before I used it and a varying feeding schedule. I used crushed organic spelt and rye grain to get some bacteria and yeast into it. No fruit or anything like it, just spelt and rye flour at the start and water. Let stand for 2 days.

Reduce hydration. This is how the mother is kept and can be fed every 3 to 7 days. Use the mother to make a 100% hydration starter 10 hours before baking and keep mother in fridge.

Bread
I mainly make bread. I hardly have left over culture so don't make pancakes or the like. I use different flours.
Commenti
I love my culture, and especially enjoy sharing it around and teaching people to make bread. Inspiring people to make their own bread is my favourite.
