Since 2013

I love the taste and texture of sourdough. I wanted to challenge myself to make my own starter and learn the craft. There's so much to learn and endless possibilities! It's also healthier than other breads and so intriguing to work with, so forgiving. I also love the way I can make sourdough look so beautiful. When my students pull their loaves from the oven I love the look of joy on their faces

Characteristics

In my warm kitchen my starter will peak 5 hours after feeding, she then smells sweet and fruity of apples and banana, caramel even, resulting in beautiful mildly acidic loaves. About 12 hours after feeding her aroma and taste are more vinegary, still floats, very deep complex fruityflavours and makes gorgeous sour rye loaves. I feed her consistently and she behaves consistently most of the time.
