Since 2020

I had a starter in 2018 which I baked with successfully, but it never made it past 10 months because of hectic work schedules. 2020 quarantine was a beautiful time to focus on cultivating Janet & the craft of baking artisanal bread.

Characteristics

Usually use 82-85 degree water to feed Janet. When fed daily, she reaches peak in about 6 hours, has a very mild sour taste & aroma. She produces solid results in Tartine style loaves of 70 to 76% hydration with high gluten bread flour. Beautiful ears. Her discards are mostly used for waffles, pancakes, and crackers.
