The first time I was introduced to s sourdough starter I was fascinated, it was a generational starter from New Zealand. Unfortunately I killed it, then went to a bread baking course and killed another. I felt more determined to create my own starter and fell in love more and more with the simplicity of flour, water and salt and its ability to become a generational treasure for future baking!

Özellikleri

Bubbles have a very mild personality, not very acid or potent. Bubbles have a very lovely nutty smell with a slight tangy smell/taste. Some days she can be very mellow and slow whereas other days she reach for the skies.

Çalışma yöntemi

I maintain a liquid starter, which I feed with a mixture of bread flour, rye flour and whole wheat flour. When not in use I store Bubbles in the fridge, then when planning to bake (weekly) I feed the starter for a few (usally 2 days) days (2 / 3 time a day) to get it nice and active before baking.
