Thomas
Depuis 2014
I first learned about sourdough when I took basic course with one master baker, who also gave me his strong and active starter. But moving back to my own country, I had to leave it behind and started making my own one. The idea is to create a starter that suits my baking style. Made of local ingredients, and is healthy.
Caractéristiques
Mr. Thomas is not a super active starter. He is quite humble, produces very little sour taste to the bread, and always hungry. He is not used to eating white flour, and can result in gluten-breakdown in just 4 hours if being fed with white flour. For best and reliable result, please use him only for whole grain bread recipe.

Thomas is a very strong starter that it can still rise even in the 5c fridge environment. so be careful when you store him. Do not neglect him for more than a week!
