Sourdough starter?
Sep 18, 2016 @ 16:38

Hi,


 


I've just moved to Geneva and I'm used to having a sourdough starter and making my own bread but not I don't ahve the starter. Does anyone have a starter who would be prepared to give up a little bit to a new arrival?


 


Thanks,


Tris.

You can make your own starter by catching the wild yeast in the air. You need whole wheat flour, warm water and time. 


I made my own starter a few years ago and here's a site with good instructions:

Good luck!

Thanks! That didn't make it sound hard at all. 


 


I had heard that you needed to do more complicated stuff at the start to make sure you get the right bacteria, but if this works it sounds very easy.
