I was inspired by Chad Robertson's book Tartine Bread. I use his method for making my starter and baking bread, English muffins, beignets and many other things with it. I have also branched out and started experimenting on my own with my dough's' to make bagels and other wonderful sourdough things.

Caratteristiche

My starter is always fresh and young because it is kept at room temp. and i dump and feed everyday. When ever I bake I make extra leaven, dump any remaining starter, then the next day (when baking), save leftover leaven as new starter. It is very lively, with a mild tang, and pleasant aroma.

After 2 – 3 days check on it, if bubbles have started to form and it has a nice tangy aroma (not a sour odor) it is ready. Now dump out ½ of it, and feed it ~1/4 cup of 50/50 blend and an equal amount of water and let it rest one more day. Tomorrow your starter will be ready to use. Every day you will feed the stater (as described above).
