Since 2014

I grew up on my mum’s white sandwich bread, because storebought bread was too costly. When, due to a wrist injury, I could no longer knead my dough by hand, I found that my mixer couldn’t give the right texture. It was several years before I started making sourdough.

Characteristics

She’s reliable! I haven’t had a failed loaf, although I’m not good enough with sourdough to get very consistent results. Loaves are moderately sour and chewy.
