How soon after delivery should I feed the starter?

It is important to feed the sourdough starter immediately upon delivery. This is crucial because the starter may not have been fed during its travel, and feeding it upon receipt will help to revive and activate the yeast and bacteria cultures, ensuring that your starter is ready for baking.

Is 1 oz of starter enough to begin with?

Yes, 1 oz of starter is more than sufficient to get started. Sourdough starter is very resilient and can be grown over time with regular feedings. You can even split it and share it with friends, or use it to start multiple cultures.

How can I tell if my sourdough starter is healthy?

A healthy sourdough starter should have a pleasant sour smell, be bubbly, and double in volume a few hours after feeding. If you notice any off smells, colors, or lack of activity, it may need more frequent feedings or to be started anew.

What makes German sourdough different from other types of sourdough bread?

German sourdough bread, particularly from regions like Bavaria, is distinct due to its use of a blend of rye and wheat flours. Rye flour gives the bread a denser texture and a deeper, more complex flavor compared to other sourdoughs.

What are some recommended pairings?

Its robust texture and rich flavor make it an excellent base for sandwiches. For a classic German experience, try it with slices of ham, Swiss cheese, and a bit of mustard. Also try with smoked salmon and cream cheese, or spread some jam or honey.

What's the difference between San Francisco and German sourdough textures?

Bavarian Sourdough: Often includes a denser crumb and thicker crust, especially in breads with higher rye content. San Francisco Sourdough: Chewy texture and a crisp crust. The crumb is usually more open and airy with a moist interior.

What's the difference between San Francisco and German sourdough flavor profiles?

Bavarian Sourdough: Typically denser with a more earthy and slightly sweet taste, often described as "malty" or "fruity". San Francisco Sourdough: Typically lighter texture with a less complex tangy or sour taste, with a clean, sharp tangy flavor.
