Since 2014
A friend had started baking and gave me some of his starter. I knew nothing about how bread was made or the benefits of sourdough. I made my first loaf with the Tartine Country Loaf recipe published by the NYT. I've been hooked ever since!
Characteristics
My sourdough smells sweet and yeasty, and sometimes rises so much it overflows out of the jar.
