Interest and because I love buying sourdough and it's so expensive at the shops. I also like to know what's going into my food. There's so much hard-to-understand information and instructions about sourdough so I just found the most basic recipe and went with it!
Characteristics
She's quite hardy. Her bubbles are small and she smells very tangy. When I haven't fed her recently enough she lets me know with a layer of liquid on top. Once I've fed her she recovers pretty quickly. When I haven't used her in a while she can take a while to warm up so I normally feed her daily and keep her at room temp if I know I've neglected her a bit.

Working method
1
Feed the starter 6 hours before you want to use it. Next, stir the flour, water and starter together and leave to rest for 45mins. Add the salt and splash w/ water to help it dissolve. Then I knead it for 15mins and leave to rise in a warm space for 4-5 hours. Once it's risen I fold it, leave for 30 mins and fold it into its final ball. Then put it in the fridge overnight to rise. Cook for 50mins.
