Best Recipe for Sourdough Experimentation?
I'd like to make one recipe over and over with slight changes (one change at a time), keeping track of the differences in the resulting bread. Examples: proofing at different temperatures, changing dough hydration, changing starter hydration...
Has anyone done this, and if so, do you have a recipe you thought worked particularly well for this?
I don't have a lot of free time to bake, so I'm not a master baker or anything, but I have been baking bread fairly frequently for 30 years (sometimes with commercial yeast, sometimes with sourdough) - so the recipe doesn't necessarily need to be an easy one, just one that will be fairly flexible.
I'm thinking that changes might be easier to notice if I started out with an all-white bread, but am open to suggestions.
Thanks!
