Liquid sourdough starter

Marocco di Montignoso from the LunigianaMarocco di Montignoso is a bread typical of the municipality of Montignoso, in Tuscany.
Marocca di CasolaThe fruit of a centuries-old tradition handed down by the women of the Lunigiana, Marocca di Casola is a bread from another time that has kept its identity intact. Even today, its recipe stays faithful to the past, using the historic ingredients and the classic wood-oven baking.

Dry sourdough starter
Toasted buckwheat and spelt michesIn this recipe the buckwheat is first toasted, then soaked, giving these spelt miches an unmistakable, intense earthy aroma.
Canadian michesThe dough is quite hydrated and deliberately soft. The result is a large loaf, slightly flattened in shape, with an open crumb structure, a chewy texture and exceptional keeping quality (the flavour peaks about three days after baking).
Pain paillasse de LodèvePain de Lodève shares its origins with two other great classics of French bread baking: Pain Paillasse and Pain Rustique. Its distinctive feature is the shaping: the dough is simply cut into pieces and baked without being shaped at all.
Roasted garlic breadRoasted garlic loses its sharp bite, turning into a soft, delicate cream that runs through the whole loaf. A starter (18% of the total flour) adds a deep aromatic dimension, bringing out the garlic's flavour instead of overpowering it.
Autumn breadA bread with the scent of autumn and a refined aromatic balance. On one side, the toasted notes of whole wheat flour and walnuts stand out; on the other, the sweetness of raisins and the pleasant tartness of cranberries round out the profile.
Quinoa breadToasted quinoa gives this loaf a deep, enveloping nutty note, while also enriching its nutritional value.
Sourdough spelt breadToasted whole spelt flour gives this bread an intense aroma and a dark crust, balanced by the wheat flour and the slow maturation of the sourdough starter.
Sourdough bread
Whole wheat sourdough breadThe addition of whole wheat flour brings the share of unrefined flours (whole wheat and rye) to 25% of the total, visibly transforming the aromatic profile of this pain au levain.
