seit 2010

Chemistry of baking and natural processes interested me. Now I am a total believer in the health benefits of the long, slow ferment. Plus, once my starter and I got to know each other, I find it much more tolerant of my crazy baking schedule than fast, efficient yeast. How can you go on a two-hour bike ride in the middle of baking with yeast? A long ferment and a cool retard is a beautiful thing!

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

A subtle tang, but understated. Resilient and tolerant of minor abuse! (Bake mostly on the weekend, and let it get slow and alcohol-y Monday and Tuesday and then bounces right bakes when refresh Wed-Fri and bake Saturday and Sunday.) Effective at acidifying and breaking down flour enzymes, but lets the flavor of the ingredients come through. Started based on rye flour in 2010.
