It came yesterday thank you very much. I am not making my sourdough for another week.
I made five loaves of sourdough with the Kensington starter and every person I gave a loaf to said it was the best sourdough they ever had. I didn't tell anyone that it was the Kensington starter they just thought I did something different with my other starter. Its so good.
I have used Kensington Market's 150 year old SF starter a few times over the last 7 years - and never disappointed. It jump starts your own process and develops into a robust starter each time. All I have to do is not take a 3 year break from sour dough baking and this should keep me in bread, pancakes and pizza for years to come. thanks!
A few years ago I made my own sourdough starter from fresh flour and spring water. After a few trial-and-error attempts, it finally worked, and I was able to bake some really nice sourdough bread with it for a few years. However, after a long vacation, my starter didn’t survive in the fridge. So I spent a year baking bread with dry yeast, but after a while I started missing my sourdough bread. I decided to search online and ended up finding “Kensington Market Sourdough” in Toronto, Canada.
Order placed and soon received the San Francisco Sourdough Starter. I immediately started working with the included manual, and within a week I had a very active, usable sourdough starter. I just kept the flour/water ratio 1/1 because with the indicated amounts of water it becomes too runny, whereas people always talk about a pasta-like sourdough starter. There’s probably an error in the conversion from ounces/cups to grams (I live in Belgium and never work with cups/ounces, only with grams and centiliters. Also, we use the temperature in °C, and not in °F).
Yesterday I made my first 2 loaves with this “San Francisco Sourdough Starter” and ….. they taste absolutely delicious.
Maintaining a sourdough starter is also super easy, I use rye flour to maintain my sourdough starter in a 1:1:1 ratio (sourdough/water/flour).
I can only highly recommend this sourdough starter; for me, it’s definitely a great find.
Many thanks, “Kensington Market Sourdough”
