Characteristics
Tiny bubbles but almost always reliable. I named it puffy because I started with rye meal and it would puff up when ripe. Now that I use dark rye it rises similar to wheat but with much smaller bubbles. I don't uses levains much so it's starter into every build.

Working method

I started a sourdough culture 5 years ago using a stone milled rye meal but switched it to white for about 6 months before shifting back to rye. I've fed it dark whole organic rye for the last 3 years and it goes into almost every loaf I sell. I have a white starter I use on occasion since both taste different. I use a starter, sour and final build formula in nearly all of my bakes.
