Fievel
desde 2018
I was reading a book about the origins of farming and the domestication of cereals and grains as a precursor to the formation of cities. In it, they talked about how sourdough was how all breads were made before modern baker's yeast was created. I wanted to learn about how to bake all sorts of things from scratch so I raised a wild yeast.
Características
Fievel is a strong starter, quick to spring back after a rest in the fridge. He is tangy but not overbearing - a light flavour that can be controlled based on preference. Fievel floats for a long time so if I need to start a levain late, he still has enough power.

Result

A dense tall cake with cranberries and icing on top.
Sourdough Pizza
This was delicious but I found that my oven didn't get hot enough to give me a really good crust.
Chocolate Sourdough
This variation of sourdough has cocoa and espresso with dried cherries. It tastes like cake even with no sugar!
Olive Loaf
A country loaf with olive oil, herbs, and olives.
Rainbow Bread!
Using gel food coloring, I was able to create a rainbow bread.
