Since 2019
I wanted to reduce waste and every bread came in packaging, so I though I'd start makking my own bread. Then someone in the family had previously made sourdough and recommended it and was my first teacher with creating the starter!
Characteristics
I create dmy sourdough starter in summer of 2019 and have fed it all sorts of flours, white or wholegrain and even honey. I keep small quantities to refresh on a daily basis and feed it twice a day to keep it smelling fresh and not acidic.

I leave some of my starter at the bottom of my small jar I keep it in; then I add 10g water and mix it well until it dissolves. Finally I add 10-15g of flour and mix it in. I prefer stiffer starters lately.

Working method
1
First I do 1hr autolysis with 400g of shite baker flour and add 50-60g of mixed seeds at that point. After 1hr at room temperature I add the starter and the salt together. Then I leave it to rest for 30 minutes. I do 3 stretch and folds every 30 minutes and then 2 or more coil folds if needed again every 30 minutes.
I then leave the dough to rise for about 2 hours on the counter and I pre-shape
