Wheat sourdough starter for bread
Description
The baking is simple and quick. The starter needs to be prepared in advance, as it requires a long fermentation time. You can store it in the refrigerator and regularly "feed" it to keep it active. You can make it from rye flour or wheat flour. The bread will be golden, soft, airy, and aromatic. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
