Since 2018

As a Chef ,Always fascinated by the mystery of wild yeast. last year while I was watching some You Tube videos about sour dough bread making , I decided to make my own starter and I did it successfully , still a long way to go!!

Characteristics

To be honest I never used any other starter in my life, even this is my first experience of making my own from the scratch, and till today never had a problem. It seems like very active after every feeding . Takes lesser time to get active when I am using rye flour for feeding. I believe it gives a unique sourish woody flavor to my bake!!
