I decided to try baking sourdough to learn another way to make bread without beer yeast, and to try to improve my skill in baking after 3 professional classes in bread, pizza and pastry.

Özellikleri

Ismaele is a simple sourdough started with water, Italian wheat flour Tipo 0 and a bit of Italian honey. Since May 2013 it usually rest in my fridge with hydratation of 50% in small amount. The amount I need to transform it as needed (100% hydratation - pre-ferment - or refreshed just in part with other kind of flour) Since july 2014 it has a brother a glutenfree sourdough named Queequeg.

Then after doubled in volume, I proceeded mixing 50 g of the obtained sourdough with 50 g of flour and 25 g of water, put the knead obtained in a jar covered with a towel at room temperature and waited about 24 hours till doubled in volume. Repeated this operation for the next 7 days every time the sourdough is doubled. At this point it must double in volume in 2/3 hours.
