Since 2016
I started to explore the world of wild fermentation as a child, by doing sauerkraut. Then was the yogurt, then kefir, and during the last years probiotic sodas. During this procedure, I got a lot of wild yeast. So, I decide to go on and I started to grow sourdough by using the aromatic and efficient wild yeast from the ginger fermented sodas. Great results, and 100% healthy.
Characteristics
This gingery and slightly carbonated sourdough is a wild powerful starter that will allow you to prepare a fruity dough and a very tasty and aromatic bread. In addition you will be able to enjoy your own probiotic sodas. This is a double-advantage method!

Ginger starter scale up:
Once you get a bubbling solution, pour the ginger starter together with all the other ingredients in a clean plastic bottle.

Yeast precipitation:
Put the cap of the bottle and keep it at 4ºC for 12 hs.
The yeast of the probiotic fermentation will be decanted as a yellow sediment in the bottom of the bottle.
You can safely drink the "soda" but the important part is to recover the sediment by pouring the liquid in a flip-top bottle.
Important: do it carefully in order to recover as much as possible yeast.
