Susie
2014 'dan beri
I have always enjoyed baking, and wanted to find a better (healthier!) alternative to commercial yeast.
Özellikleri
Susie is 8 years old, has a fuity-sweet, yogurt-like, mildly acidic aroma and is a very vigorous lady. I think of her as an active, buxom blonde in a very short Dirndl dress. :) She typically more than doubles in volume within 4 hours, and remains at peak for about 2 hours. The breads she produces have a soft, fluffy, very open crumb and a very mildly sour flavour.

Tarif
Başlangıç malzemeleri
- 100g Spring water from aberfoyle, on
- 100g Hard spring wheat (unbleached, organic) from saskatchewan
Besleme malzemeleri
- 60g Spring water
- 60g Unbleached, organic hard spring wheat
- 30g Sourdough starter
1
For maintenance feeds, I discard all but 30g of the starter, then add 60g each of flour and water. If intending to bake in a day or two, I leave the starter on the counter until doubled, and feed again 12 hours later. Otherwise I return it to the fridge immediately after feeding.

Çalışma yöntemi
1
When I first started "Susie", I fed equal parts flour and water (in a 2:1 ratio to the existing starter) every 12 hours. After 4 days, I cut back to feeding every 24 hours. Maintenance feeds now are bi-weekly.
