Since 2020

Always wanted to create my own starter but working from home provided the flexibility and impetus to get going.

Characteristics

Silky smooth and very active. Yields excellent bread typical of a traditional Maltese "hobża". Triples in size overnight after feeding. Keeps very well in the fridge between bakes.
