Sourdough



I dunno - maybe I’m already at the age where 
sourdough has you a willing victim; there’s no 
agonies entailed and being a born and raised 
home-baked bread devotee makes too easily 
for targeting’s my guess - so snacking on this 
epicurean pleasure isn’t an apprenticeship or 
sombre learning curve you get kneaded into;  
as far as I’m aware there’s nothing any better 

So why does a naturally fermented starter do 
the things dried yeast you’d normally use fail 
to - and that’s where it gets really interesting; 
you are right back where this tradition began, 
and I recollect, Great Gran was already there, 
feeding the furnaces - establishing the yen
