Sourdough Starter posted by Slice

I found this article on Slice today, following Donna Currie as she grows a new sourdough starter.

As posted in the article on Slice this is day 0, in starting a starter with flour and water.  If anyone wants to follow along to see how a “wild yeast” is made, this article and the following would be a good place to learn about “wild yeast” starter.

It really isn’t hard to make your own starter from flour and water.  If you really want to make a sourdough pizza, you will be able to taste the difference when using a starter, in the final crust of the pizza.  That is one reason for using any starter.  The crumb of a pizza will be different also when using any naturally leavened pizza dough.  These starters can also be used to make bread or bagels.

At some point in time, I will post on my adventures in using “wild yeast” for starters and post the pictures of the pizzas I made with those starters.

I did also activate the Ischia starter and did use the Ischia starter in different doughs for pizza.  I am now playing around with milk kefir grains and seeing how milk kefir, naturally leavens pizza dough.  I do already have some posts here about milk kefir in a pizza dough.
