I watched "Cooked" and loved the sourdough episode. I've always loved sourdough and have baked "regular" breads before, but thought I'd give sourdough a try.

Caractéristiques

My breads have become very sour (which I like) because I now leave my starter to sit at room temperature (or in the oven with the light on) for at least 2 days without feeding, before baking with it. Since I use all whole grains in my breads, including rye flour, I do have a fairly heavy rye flavor. The breads do not rise a ton, because they are 100% whole grain.

1
I add equal parts (usually about 1/4 cup at a time) of whole rye flour and room temperature water. When not in use, I feed about once per week. When I bake, I take it out, feed it about once per day, then wait maybe 2 days to bake with it, so that it's nice and sour.

Méthode de travail

1
My starter is made from whole rye flour, milled by my mother so it's fairly fresh. I add equal parts rye flour and water to feed it.
