Since 2013

I enjoy that there are many layers to sourdough baking. I enjoy the mad scientist aspect. Right now, I am experimenting with fermenting fruit and flowers.

Characteristics

I enjoy the floral scent from the sourdough. It is very mild and does not have much of a tang. I am not very careful about being consistent with my feedings. Sometimes I use magnolia and fruit water in the mother starter. I bake about 2 loaves a week. Fremont, CA is south of SF.

Sometimes alternatively mixed with yeast waters. I am south of SF. I wonder if that makes a difference. :D

Sometimes mixed with only bread flour. Sometimes 50/50 bread flour/ rye to water. sometimes spelt added.
