Characteristics

A mild flavour with hints of fruitiness. Not a strong sour flavour, nor does the fruity flavour overpower the taste of the bread. Pleasant fermented odour .

Working method

1
Keeping it simple and honest to the 12,000-year-old history of bread. First, start with whole wheat, germ in, stone-ground (cold) flour. 1/4 is perfect for one loaf per discard. Double it for two. Add the flour to a wide-mouth Mason jar.
100% Whole wheat flour
2
Water, plain and simple. Use the same amount of warm water as you did flour (1/4 cup). Warm tap water. Mix the two until they make a nice paste.
