sourdough starter Volunteer

The amazing hitch-hiking sourdough starter



The organisms making up the yeast culture were on the grain that was milled for this bread. Its story as a sourdough starter is told at length here (as the uninoculated control culture, the ignored other jar) and as a proper bread dough here

The place where the grain was grown is unknown, presumably Nebraska, but wherever it was, its yeast culture tastes fantastic. I will keep it and call it Volunteer.
