🌾 Organic Sourdough Tips
Starter Ratio: Keep your starter between 20-25% of flour weight for best results with organic flour
Hydration Guide: Start with 60-65% hydration for organic bread flour, adjust based on protein content
Salt Balance: Use 2% salt for optimal flavor development with organic ingredients
Quality Matters: High protein content in flour allows for more hydration. Flours of 14% protein or more are the strongest.

Very pleased, it’s going great guns. The only negative is that the leaflet supplied is confusing. I have a couple of loaves on the go as I write!.
Lovely taste, worked well in my first baking. Well packaged and speedy delivery. Thanks!
Arrived promptly well packaged with good instructions. It was helpful that the instructions advise how to manage fridge storage of the starter which is useful for those of us who work and can only bake once a week. I’m baking today and the starter was fed overnight and was lovely and bubbly this morning. Fingers crossed for a good loaf.
My fault really, for not looking more closely as the pictures, but really I was expecting something a little larger, that I don't need a microscope to see....
