Since 2015
I needed a place to expend creative energy. I found baking sourdough to be a thoroughly rewarding challenge. Every loaf of bread is a new journey.
Characteristics
My sourdough loves to be topped with cheese cloth and likes to be at 100% hydration. It bubbles and rises up to its peak just before feeding time. I like to give Fénix a stir before feeding because it causes an effervescent reaction.
