Back in 2018 we lost all good bakeries in my town. Remembering my initial starter experiments I decided to start baking on my own. Soon after a rye sourdough came to life, the one which is referred herein.
Characteristics
If fresh, the sourdough gives a great oven spring, bread rolls and bread gets real fluffy. Taste is mild, with a light roasted flavour.
