Taro has an aroma of wild fruits: (rasp)berries. When used in bread, its taste depends on the grains used. Despite itis a wheat sourdough, its taste is best in a mix with whole rye flour and a touch of barley.

Working method
1
This sourdough was made in summer: temperature was around 25 °C.
The water I used was 'raisin water', used to soak raisins first.
Keep it in a closed jar, the pressure has to build up.

The next day, feed the starter. This time, I used 'normal' water (no raisin water).
Discard half of the starter before feeding.
