The levain mystery

Toast
BreadJazz on

Hi after having made several straight dough bread, I would like to try a levain based recipe.

I am looking for a method (recipe) on how to prepare levain. I am also looking for some readings on the subject.

 

Thank you,

would give you tons of results on "starter recipe" but this is one that you might find helpful:

And if you want to check out lots more, try using the SEARCH box on the top left, maybe using "Starter recipe".

 

Hope this helps you out.
