Since 2015

I have baked yeast breads since 1973. After being diagnosed with diabetes, I hated the thought of giving up my bread. I found that sourdough has a lower glycemic level and is more gut healthy. Once I learned the process, I fell in love with the history, the skills, the variety of uses, the smell, the scoring, and especially the eating.

Characteristics

My starter loves feeding day and will double in just a few hours with a beautiful texture and smell.

I maintain my starter by feeding it every 2 weeks a 1:1:1 ratio of starter, flour, and water, usually 30 grams each. When ready to bake I increase these amounts to equal what the recipe calls for.

Working method

1
I took a course from Theresa Greenway and followed her starter recipe that used pineapple juice for the first 4 days. I had to dehydrate it for a long illness but it came back to life a year later.

Comments

My starter remained nameless for years. Every time I grabbed it from the fridge, I was so happy to see it that I exclaimed 'Well, hello there!'. That phrase reminded me of when Hannibal Lector calls Clarice in the movie 'Silence of the Lambs' and says 'Hello, Clarice'.
