In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of wheat sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Sourdough is bread raised with a starter of wild yeast and bacteria instead of packaged yeast, which gives it a tangy taste, a chewy crumb and a thick crust. Artisan bakeries in Turkish cities sell it as ekşi mayalı ekmek.

Sourdough is often cut thick from a big loaf, so one slice can easily weigh more than you think.
