I love the taste of sourdough, and decided to try my hand at baking with it. I've tried other starters in the past, but am hopeful that this one will last for a long time.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

Eleanor is a bit on the slow side. She takes 5-6 hours to double, and had tripled in 8 hours on a couple of occasions. Once, she tripled, fell back to double, and then re-surged to triple again! It takes a REALLY long time to get a loaf to rise, but I have had fairly good results with the loaves I have made.

I've made a few decent loaves of bread with Eleanor. Still working on getting a good oven spring and decent crumb.
