🌾 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
instructions could be clearer - gluten free version not as good as i thought it might be, a bit of a faff.
There are not care instructions on the website nor is it sent via email making it quite inaccessible. I enquired about this and got no replies and its been weeks. Seems like they created this product and dont put any care into the rest of it.
Easy to follow instructions and it makes very tasty bread.
This was an excellent product and very good service. It arrived in excellent condition with clear instructions. I would definitely use this service again.
