Someone gifted me a nice present:
a sourdough that's over 100 years old!
Not to xmas, already some month back :D
I was very excited, if not also a little confused, because I got it as little pulver
or old crumbs (that have been baken without salt and then grinded down?)
Did not know that works..
I only knew wet sourdough starter from another culture :)
And noooow I finally got a good chance to revive him !
So it came in this neat little paper package (and I'm very happy I managed to keep it dry :D)
and here is the content inside:
then I just take 50 gram flour and put it in a bowl
and in goes the dry sourdough starter I got (that is over a hundred years old :0!)
now we can also see the little pulver, grains, crumbs better^^
and 50 grams/ ml of the best water I got (reverse-osmosis)
that's it!
ALSO:
in general: in bread ONLY COMES FLOUR & WATER and maybe a little SALT - THAT'S IT! ESPECIALLY NO MODERN CHEMICALS!
noow mix !
and now I put it at a warm spot, wait and do the same (except more sourdough crumbs) everyday - add 50gram flour and 50ml water - until it starts bubbling
that means he is ready 😏
ah, and a towel over the bowl
second day:
aaaand third day:
quite trippy :D tbh
AND HE IS AAAALIVE
and ready to make a bread! hopefully it doesnt taste a hundred years old :D
so far
