San Francisco Sourdough

In case you're wondering, Candida milleri, Saccharomyces exiguusLactobacillus sanfranciscensis and I have been collaborating to make some hella good sourdough. You have to visit to taste (if you're lucky, you'll get some sauerkraut, home brew and farmhouse cheddar as well).

Is that made with your local micro-flora? Are you making your own cheddar? Color me impressed.

I bought an official SF sourdough culture, so that's why I can confidently state the species of the yeast and bacteria in my bread. Now that I'm better at making this bread with the culture, though, I plan to capture more wild yeast and bacteria.

The cheddar turned out like feta, but I'm going to give it another try.
