Sourdough Starter with Potato Flakes: A Unique Approach to Artisan Breads
Sourdough starter with potato flakes is an innovative variation of the traditional sourdough starter, commonly used in artisanal bread-making. It incorporates potato flakes, a dehydrated form of potatoes, to enhance the starter’s flavor and nutritional profile. This unique combination yields a versatile starter that imparts a subtle earthy flavor and a slightly chewy texture to bread. An excellent example is the renowned Tartine Country Bread, made with a sourdough starter that includes potato flakes, showcasing the distinct characteristics this ingredient imparts.
