Being stayed in Germany for quiet a long time I got addicted to Sourdough breads. And when we moved back to India I was missing all the flavour in the bread. And that made me get into the field and study about it and make my own Sourdough starter.

Characteristics

It is not that sour but very mild, which I prefer. So I'm happy with my starter. Once due to some family commitment I couldn't feed it for 2 months. So when I removed it from fridge and tried to revive it. It was up and active again in three day.And I started baking with it again.
