After i ate my first sourdough bread In may 2018, i was stunned that there is actually Amazing natural bread in the world ! I simply wanted to bake my own sourdough bread and eat as many as i like.

Características

the Sourdough smells a lot like sweet apples / beer? :) slightly sour. It’s very predictable in feedings.

350g Bio wheat flour

Water from the well at Meerdaalwoud.

300g Water from well

Wait 2 or 3 days till you see bubbels and got a smell of vinegar. Temperature plays a big role here. Everything above 22 degrees C is good. Now remove some part of the starter and keep 100gr. Feed it with 200gr of water and 250gr of flour. Put on a warm spot (approximately 24 degrees C.)

Repeat this process every 24 hours. After 10 days i reduced the amount of starter and feedings by half. So keep 50 gr of starter, feed with 100gr of water and 125 gr of flour. Since then my Woodwell feels superb! Remember to give it air, as i noticed that firdt i had the smell of paint...once i gave it more air, the smell dissapeared and now it smells like sweet apples with beer :)
