I have always loved good bread, but in the UK it is difficult to find - especially rye breads (I am Scandinavian, and we enjoy a lot of rye!). So I decided to try baking my own.

특징

Murdo is very hardy, and bounces back quickly after a period of neglect. He is very easy to maintain in the fridge, where he has a light fluffy honeycomb texture after fermentation. After 4-5 days a tough layer forms on the surface, but no hooch. When missed with larger quantities of wheat flour and water, Murdo produces nice glutenous liquid levain with fine bubbles.

I bake once a week or so, and the night before a bake I take my starter out of the fridge and use a tablespoonful or so to start building up a starter to bake with. This is usually around 50g of rye starter at 100% hydration.

I then add equal weights of water and flour to give me around 250-300g of starter to use in my bake. So my rye starter is used to build a larger quantity of starter for my dough. Depending on what I am baking, this leaving can be made using mostly wheat flour, rye flour, or whatever is suitable for the bake.

To my jar of rye starter, I add wholemeal rye flour and water in equal weights, stir, cover and out back in the fridge until next time. I only keep a small amount of starter in the fridge and don't discard.
