[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yeah, sourdough is nothing more than flour, water, starter and a pinch of salt. I think when people talk about 'real' sourdough they are referring to an acidic load made with a long established starter. I make my own starters by cultivating wild, local yeast but my interest in baking typically wanes after 10 or 12 loaves and the starter dies. I'll pick it back up after a few months but my starters never really get that sour funk. [/quote] The sourness is determined less by the age of your starter than by the baking process. Use less starter so you have to do a slower rise, and your loaves will be sour-er because a slower rise means you're essentially converting all the dough to starter. [/quote]
