personal challenge to bake better bread and to recreate breads I ate in Germany. Very satisfying to bake bread as good if not better for a lot less money than I can buy at bakeries.

Rezept

Zutaten für den Starter

100% Dark rye flour
100% Water

Zutaten für die Auffrischung

I feed it whenever I need to bake a loaf which is usually twice a week. I use cold water from the tap and let it sit at room temperature until it is bubbly and rises, then refrigerate it. 20C is an average temperature, not something I strive for. I feed it 1:2:2, 2 ounces starter to 4 ounces each flour and water.
