2019 'dan beri

I maintained a sourdough when I was very young, around 10 years old, and during the pandemic when I was stuck at home, I decided to start baking again. I received a small amount of starter from my neighbor which is several decades old, and added it to my own starter which I made from just environmental yeast in my kitchen.

Özellikleri

The sourdough has a tangy flavor and aroma that resembles beer. It is elastic in texture, and tends to be very bubbly. Our well water and elevation of 8.000 feet above mean sea level in the Rocky Mountains just west of Boulder, Colorado contribute to the flavor. Our house temperature tends to be cool, so often I will use my oven on very low temperature to proof the bread.

Tarif

Başlangıç malzemeleri

  • Cup Flour

Besleme malzemeleri

1
I remove half of the starter to make bread. Then I add one cup of flour and one cup of tepid water. We have a well, and only treat our water with potassium to soften it. There are no other chemicals, chlorine or purifiers in our water. I store the starter in the refrigerator.

Çalışma yöntemi

1
I use a hard, red wheat flour that is grown in Utah, and shipped here to Colorado. To feed the starter, I remove half to make bread, then add one cup of flour and one cup of water to the leftover starter and mix with a wooden spoon (birch wood). I let the newly fed starter sit at room temperature for a couple of hours before storing it in the refrigerator. I live at an elevation of 8,000 feet.
