Depuis 2010

My husband had a heart attack, and I needed to do something healthy and that kept my mind busy. I wasn't having any luck with ordinary yeast, so tried sourdough. Haven't looked back.

Caractéristiques

Quite mild and creamy, not too sour as I keep it mostly in the fridge. If I feel like a sour loaf, then I leave it out in the kitchen for longer, to develop a stronger flavour. More sour with rye, and more nutty with khorasan.
