The lack of bakeries in town, together with the poor quality of supermarket bread.

Caractéristiques

My sourdough has been very moody in the first two months. However after that he has settled and is producing consistent results. He is strong and can ferment dough without the help of yeast. Optimal results come with 6h of fermentation, after which the dough starts loosing elasticity. Flavour is sour but very balanced, with a lovely nutty aftertaste.

If does not double, leave it to rest for 24h and feed everyday until ready. In my case it took around 2 weeks to be ready. When feeding, you can throw away half of the mix and add white flour+water always on this proportion. Your starter is ready when it doubles volume in 6h.
