Since 2017

I was inspired by all the beautiful breads I saw on instagram. After finding a recipe for the starter that didn't discard a lot of the starter, and while having access to a beautiful nutty rye flour, I decided to try and make a starter. It was successful and i still have the starter.

Characteristics

my starter is grey in color, and not very liquidy. it smells pleasantly sour, and like nutty cake.

I keep the starter in the fridge. When i want to make bread, I take it out and transfer most of it to my discard jar to use in various recipes, like pancakes, crackers and cakes. What is left in the jar is around 1 or 2 tablespoons of starter. I feed it with 30g of rye flour and 50g of filtered water. I leave it at room temperature until tripled and then i use it in bread.
