Characteristics

Using milk in the formula, I noted that this makes the starter a little bit stiffer than using only water as liquid. Flavour is more lactic too and it develops many flavours and aromas in the bread baked. At least, I noted a great cold fermentation (at the fridge). In about 15 hours at the fridge, the fermantation double the volume.

Before use: 1st feed: same wheitgh and proportions of starter. After doubled in volume, use 30g as a starter for a baking and restore the remaining levain at the fridge. 2nd and 3rd feeds: repeat the 1st process to reach the volume needed in the recipe. Sometimes I use a blend of flours (white wheat, rye wheat or malted rye wheat) to add flavor and colour to the bread.
