Since 2006

I could never produce a decent bread with yeast, so I thought I would give sourdough a try.

Characteristics

Stewart is very forgiving. If I miss the timing in the process somewhat he usually delivers consistent results anyway. Usually activates a new pre-dough in 4 hours in room temperature. I use him for rye levain rolls, cinnamon rolls, croissants, and toast bread.
