Patrick
Since 2020
I’ve started before but because the process took so long, i often did not have time to maintain a starter. But since the pandemic happened, I now have all the time in the world.
Characteristics
Pateirick had a slow start, but was wonderfully consistent once he got going. He’s not too fussy when it comes to maintenance but will slow down activity if neglected for too long. Patrick was born from APF and still performs best when fed with it + a little bread flour. Doesn’t do too well with whole grains & rye. But makes great artisanal loaves, soft rolls & doughnuts. The taste is very mild.

Patrick was born during the pandemic using the only flour I had on hand. Grocery store all purpose flour. Patrick is pretty stable but has subtle reactions and changes when the weather changes. The flavor of the bread made from Patrick is very mild and subtle.
