Since 2015

My baker died. Oh well, I've been making bread before that, but good bakers are rare, and I love eating what I made with my hands, too. It's a humble process, which utterly relaxes me, and the smell of freshly-baked bread is simply so sexy.

Characteristics

This has accompanied me for some time, becoming more stable every year. It never gets long rests... it's slow and strong, and requires long processes. Typically, it ends up in sturdy, robust breads, often with spices and long proofing time. It works fine fermenting very long at kitchen temperature (ca. 22°C), but better at 29°C in the convector, which gives it a more pronounced acidity.
