Passion and for the love of baking also it's the best way to eat bread

Characteristics

My sourdough starter is sweet in smell, liquidy with a thick texture , I use local flour to feed and maintain my starter straight from forth milling company in Dammam Saudi Arabia. It gives me an awesome bread with a sweet nutty flavor, and just a hint of sourness.
