I'm a food blogger with big love in doughs! My first doughs for bread were with dry yeast, then with fresh yeast and then came sourdough! Now for my breads I only use sourdough, for other types of dough I mostly use yeast. I have 2 sourdough starters, one usual with regular water and flour and the 2nd with raisin water and flour (fruity and wonderful).

My sourdough is one year old and I love it! I made it out of curiocity and I'm addicted to it since then. It took me many steps to finally get it to a level that I understand what it needs, how to feed it, how long to ferment, to know when its ready for baking etc. It's an alive and fully active sourdough!!

Metodo di lavorazione

To create my sourdough starter I used 2 tablespoons of water

tbsp 2 water

And 3 tbsp of flour. For the next 24h I stir it for 2-3 times. After the first 24h I feeded it again with 2tbsp water and 3tbsp of flour. Following the same process every 24h for about 5 days, feeding it and stirring it 2-3 times each day, till I saw the first bubbles. The smell was a bit sour. Every since its in the fridge, feeding it each time before use.
