We wanted to start making our own bread and thought it would be fun to try fermenting and baking our own sourdough. We bake at least 1 big loaf per week. Sometimes we also use the starter to make biscuits, muffins, pancakes and even cookies!
Characteristics
Nice yeasty smell, slightly sour but warm with notes of cereal. Depending on time of day can also notice fruity notes and some very slight hints of cheese.
