The mother starter is fed exclusively on filtered chlorine-free water and Wholegrain Milling Co. organic stoneground flour for many years meaning you get a product free from impurities.
By baking at home you will be able to produce loaves of better quality than the best you can buy for a fraction of the cost. The starter can also be used to make naturally leavened pizza, pancakes, brioche, challah, focaccia, and baguettes.
A lovely lactic-dominant flavour profile, strengthens over the first few weeks, and hold a lovely sentiment of heritage from pre-WW1 France. Makes amazing discard crumpets in addition to rye, spelt and white sourdough. The smell is incredible, raw and as bread. So good!
