Since 2008

I travel to Europe a lot for work. Was a breakfast in Brussels, Belgium admiring the bread varieties and asked myself, "Why can't I get bread like this at home?". Then I had the revelation that if I wanted bread like that at home, I had to make it myself.

Characteristics

Starter has a very fruity/fermented aroma. Smells like a good wine when its been well fed. Produces loaves with a crust that have a caramel aroma but roasted flavor.

I mix the remaining levain from the days bake with equal parts flour and water. I usually have 100 g of levain remaining. Half of the flour is AP (King Arthur) and the other half is whole wheat (usually Red Fife stone ground at home)
