Sourdough Starter From Spelt Flour, Tips & 3 Recipes

Description: It is important that you use the same flour to resurrect and maintain your Starter that it was made from because different flours have different strains of wild yeast so introducing a new flour’s yeast may compete with the strain happily thriving in the Starter you worked so hard to make. If you decide to use a different flour, discard half of your Starter before feeding with new flour and feed it twice/week for 3 weeks before using. But you can use a different flour for baking because the wild yeast in it won’t have time to compete with your Starter’s yeast. This Sourdough Starter Packet uses wild yeast harvested from Bob's Red Mill Spelt Flour. Gmama also has a kit derived from Einkorn Flour and King Arthur's Flour. What Makes Sourdough Bread so Unique And Healthy? Sourdough bread is different from other bread because it uses a Slow Fermentation process from wild yeast naturally found in the flour and lacto-acid bacteria from the environment. It has been around since ancient Egypt and all bread was “Sourdough” until packaged yeast was invented in 1840. There is an historical debate about which came first: Sourdough Bread or Beer, because they both use the same fermentation process, but the bottling of beer traps the alcohol and Carbon Dioxide inside the keg or bottle, whereas the Carbon Dioxide in the dough puffs it up making it light an airy and the alcohol evaporates. The benefits of Slow Fermentation in bread making are 1) Gives the bread a wonderful tangy sour taste with crispy crust and chewy middle, 2) Increases the bioavailability of B Vitamins and can even increase the amount of Vitamin B12, 3) Breaks down phytic acid that inhibits absorption of minerals like Iron, and 4) Breaks down some of the gluten making it easier to digest. (Many of my gluten intolerant friends can eat my bread will no ill effects!)Gmama’s Spelt Flour Sourdough Packet will have you easily baking sourdough bread in just one week! A packet of Sourdough Dehydrated Flakes (each batch is tested for viability), Directions on how to Wake the Flakes, Helpful Tips, and 3 recipes are included: Classic Sourdough, Soft Sourdough Sandwich Bread, and Cheesy Jalapeno Pepperoni Sourdough bread. Printed on 5x7 Postcards. You'll need a Glass Quart Jar to revitalize and grow your starter and Spelt Flour (Amazon and Vitacost have it.) The Starter MUST be fed the same flour it was derived from otherwise the wild yeast in a different flour will complete with the yeast in the Starter. You can bake with a different flour because there is not enough time for the wild yeast in it to compete with the Starter's Yeast.
