seit 2018

I was reading a book about the origins of farming and the domestication of cereals and grains as a precursor to the formation of cities. In it, they talked about how sourdough was how all breads were made before modern baker's yeast was created. I wanted to learn about how to bake all sorts of things from scratch so I raised a wild yeast.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

Fievel is a strong starter, quick to spring back after a rest in the fridge. He is tangy but not overbearing - a light flavour that can be controlled based on preference. Fievel floats for a long time so if I need to start a levain late, he still has enough power.
