NW Ferments Desem Sourdough Starter Kit

Description: Desem, made with whole wheat flour, means “starter” in Flemish.  It creates a hearty, fiber-rich bread.  Longer proofing time will increase its sourness, if desired. Reusable- by reserving a bit from each batch, you can continue to make Desem sourdough indefinitely! Make your own hearty, healthy sourdough bread with our Sourdough Starter Cultures.  Just add the culture to flour and water, and watch the magic begin!  It is possible to make your own starter culture by allowing the wild yeasts in your home to accumulate and grow in flour and water, but is not always reliable.  Sometimes there are not enough wild yeasts available in the atmosphere to populate your starter (particularly if air filters are in use).  The wild yeasts in your home may not always produce a desirable flavor (any teenager’s sweaty socks hanging around)  Using a specific starter culture is a way to ensure success and speed up the process. This Kit includes: Danish Rye sourdough starter culture Dough scraper Flour sack towel Reusable jar cover and elastic band Instructions and recipes NW Ferments provides quality starter cultures for home production.
