Depuis 2013

When I first took a sniff of a sourdough starter, I fell in love with it. I was fascinated with how alive it is. As I wanted to eat more healthily I started to bake sourdough breads. I realised that after eating sourdough bread, I do not feel bloated. I could stave off my hunger longer.

Caractéristiques

I was given a 2 year old starter when I attended a bread making class. I have since maintained it for about half a year. You can say Zippy is now 3 years old. It is fruity with a wonderful aroma. Zippy is strong and can go without food for 2 weeks.
