Since 2020
I was unemployed, with a lot of time in my hands, and i just bought a book about baking (with and without sourdough). Starting as a challenge, I want to keep doing it for as long as I can!
Characteristics
My sourdough rises slowly over the first 6 hours, then deflates until the next feeding. It smells sour, a bit like vinegar.
