Waller Creek Levain
Depuis 2011
When I moved to Seattle in the early 1990's, I got a job a Grand Central Bakery and was first exposed to authentic sourdough baking. Before that, all my bread baking experience was with yeasted dough.
Caractéristiques
This levain produces a complex, but mildly sour flavored bread, favoring lactic acid.
