Since 2013

I was in culinary school a few years ago, and my chef brought her personal sourdough starter that she has had for over 30 years to share with the class. I've been baking ever since!

Characteristics

My whole wheat starter likes his routine. If I deviate from it too much, then he doesn't appreciate it and likes to revolt! :) When I stick to his schedule, he makes the most wonderful and beautiful breads..

Working method

1
Regular feedings (not when baking): Discard all but one tablespoon of starter. Feed with 1/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup warm water. Allow to ferment at room temperature for an hour before refrigerating.
2
When baking: To activate the starter I give it 3-4 feedings before I make a levain. Usually start on a Wednesday morning, feed it as described above twice a day in the morning and evening until Friday night.
3
Friday night I make the levain and allow it to sit overnight until Saturday morning when I mix my dough.
