So for the last few months I've been making sourdough with Carl's
starter. It is, as far as I can tell, an exceedingly well-behaved starter... the only trouble is, the bread I've been churning out is a little boring. Frankly, there's barely any taste difference between it and regular white bread. Tasty white bread, sure, but the sourness is just not there. I've messed with salt percentage, changed my flour, and screwed with the different times, all to little avail. Vigorous and foolproof as the Carl's has been, I think I might need a new starter culture. I looked around a couple of stores and found Kazhakistani and Lesothan starter cultures and suchlike, and am absolutely befuddled by the variety available. So I'll throw it out to y'all-- what moderately sour and interesting-tasting cultures would you recommend, and where would you suggest getting them? Ben |
