I like baking. I didn't want to constantly buy commercial yeast. I wanted to produce my "own yeast". An this was sourdough. My curiosity caused me to dive into the depths of the sourdough.

I'm in love with my NUMBER FOUR starter. I feed it with Bulgarian spring water from Rhodopi Mountains. I use my own flour mixture for feeding it - 10% WW and 90% AP flour from a local mill. It gets active for 3-4 hours. The smell of home made sourdough bread is soooo delicious. Yummmi!!!
