LESSON 31 for amazing flavour & optimal nutrition choose a rye starter

Rye is the most complex and yet somehow the easier starer to maintain. It is wonderfully sour. Again I like to recommend to beginners to get to know the white starter first as Rye can be more challenging because it can turn very sour very fast in a warm environment and if it is highly hydrated, it can over ferment and result in an under-proofed loaf  - it is dependant on getting the timing right. That said, it is brilliantly lively. So it is really about learning to understand your starter.

You can lift the hydration to 100% or keep it thicker at 70% or lower. I appreciate that it is frustrating that there are no set rules, but in many ways there is no one way to drive a car.  Each starter has...

WHY USE THE RETARDED METHOD?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ferment for longer. The longer the bread is fermented the better, so using the retarded method is best for optimal nutrition and digestibility. The retarded method involves an overnight prove in the fridge – this slows down the yeast and gives the bread the amazing sour and lightly vinegary flavours that are iconic to sourdough bread. Did you know, it is the sourness that contributes to its digestibility? For those who have wheat sensitivity or digestive issues, this method allows for higher levels of acidity and therefore is more digestible. Plus, this method allows for more flexible timings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TIBETAN MONASTERY BREAD – BALEP KORKUN 

Today’s member recipe explores the science and the deliciousness around adding a well known spice to sourdough ... I’ve included  the studies that have shown improvement of both the symptoms of IBS and depression.

Easy to make, served warm. Drizzled in honey and oh so aromatic it’s easy to see why there is joy in sharing this bread.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) report that they can eat sourdough without digestive discomfort, even when they have difficulty digesting other types of bread.  There is evidence that sourdough’s long, slow fermentation reduces IBS symptoms. But what if you could improve both flavour and the digestibility of your bread by adding a spice?

And, better yet, what if that could change that way you feel – not just physically, but emotionally, too? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
