🌾 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.
★ Reviews
Very happy with the purchase, it made a great gift and was well received. The order process was simple with fast delivery
Great service. Only one constructive comment. Would help if the jar or lid gave a description of the type of starter, ie. Buckwheat, rye, spelt etc
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!
