Adventures of Sourdough Bread Making
Details
The interest in sourdough bread making has been increasing over the last couple of years. With people paying more attention to their gut and the power of fermentation. There is a lot of information out there and everything affects the proofing time, bulk fermentation. From the type of flour you use, to the temperature when you make your bread.
I started my sourdough journey this year. I started with einkorn flour, an ancient grain with a lower gluten index. It was a good place to start for me since I had been gluten free for a year. So I’ve done a lot of research and I understand how much I don’t know. But it is an enjoyable process working with this living culture.
If there is interest we can get together for coffee and discuss the ins and outs of sourdough bread making and share a sourdough starter.
