Tita
Since 2018
Bought my first bread book- FWSY by Ken Forkish and decided to try out the formulas.
Characteristics
Sweet aroma. Hints of yoghurt, grass, and honey. The stone milled flour used to feed it yields a sweeter flavour and mild acidic notes. The whole grain also hastens the fermentation- young starter ready to use after 2-2.5 hours.

Recipe
Starting ingredients
- 100% Red fife
- 80% Water
Feeding ingredients
1
Tita is maintained at 80% hydration and fed with stone-milled flour- organic whole grain Red Fife (a Canadian heritage flour). We believe that the hydration and flour we use to feed it produce a starter that is not overly acidic and has hints of yoghurt, grass, honey.
Working method
1
Tita is used for naturally leavened sourdough loaves. In our bakery, we consider it as the mother. From it we use to make sweet levain for our enriched dough like brioche. Moreover, another levain was born from Tita- Tito. Tito is a pasta madre (stiff starter) specifically trained for panettone/colomba production.
