🌾 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.
