The challenging and dynamic nature sourdough drew me to it, the joy of good bread, whole grains and the experimental nature of the process kept me addicted. It also makes the perfect slow-paced weekend activity.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

Brahma was initially started as a whole white flour starter but was soon adapted to a healthier lifestyle with locally grown, freshly milled whole grain flours. A south Indian cereal- Ragi provides a wonderful earthy flavour which develops a nice tanginess as it ferments.
