It started when the COVID lockdown began. I knew sourdough is something which needs all the attention and patience. Since i had all the time in the world for nearly 3 months, I started making sourdough bread. Started sometime in March 2020.

특징

The starter smells sour but once the bread bakes, there’s not much of sourness. The bread has lot of maltiness and a hint of sweetness. The bread smells a lot like freshly milled flour.

Beer wort. This is is what makes the starter unique. I have initially fed my starter with hefeweizen beer wort without the hops. I always felt hefeweizens have a very similar taste to bread. I was lucky enough to get some beer wort from my brother who’s a brewer
