Since 2015
Had a bit more time off work than I originally expected. Never made bread (or baked anything) so I thought I would start at the most rudimental method.
Characteristics
Originally made sourdough in January 2016. Started off extremely wet and pourable. In the last 3 or 4 months has gained a lot more viscosity and is almost a tearable consistency, with much larger bubbles.
