Apis - bee sourdough
Since 2017
I decided to bake sourdough bread for one simple reason - because I couldn't buy a good one in my neighborhood.
Characteristics
The basis of my sourdough was a fermented honeycomb: beeswax, bee pollen, honey and BEE BREAD - food mixed by bees with its own saliva, which naturally ferment thanks to lactic acid bacteria
