What makes Boudin Sourdough sour?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The secret is in our starter, or "Mother Dough", which includes micro-organisms that slowly and naturally ferment and raise the bread, producing a deliciously sour flavor. Our starter is proprietary, as it's the original "Mother Dough" from 1849, so we do not share or sell it. We don't make an "Extra Sour" version of our bread, either, as we prefer to use the original Sourdough French Bread recipe.

Is your bread like a sourdough?

Frequently Asked Questions
Our bread is like sourdough in that it has a starter, but that's where the similarity ends. Virtually every sourdough has something added to it to make it rise, like yeast, dairy, sugar or vinegar. We add nothing-just the flour and water to make our starter. Some people say that it is really "wild yeast" in the air that causes the bread to rise.

Can I make sourdough in my bread machine?

The Blue Room FAQ
Probably not, since most bread machines depend on the more predictable rising schedule of commercial yeast. However, your bread machine is an excellent way to mix and knead the dough. A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic. These are general baking issues rather than issues with sourdough, specifically; consult your favorite book on bread-bakery (or consult a baker friend who can visit your kitchen and see what you're doing and recommend changes).

I am sensitive/allergic to yeast and wheat. Can your sourdough help?

The Blue Room FAQ
No. My sourdough has plenty of yeast and wheat in it, it's just that the yeast isn't purchased separately. If you have those kinds of food sensitivities, consult a physician or dietician for advice on what you can eat safely. One reader has reported that the method works well for Spelt-based sourdough (and another uses rice flour), but while that would help with the wheat it wouldn't remove any yeast.

What's your recipe for sourdough pancakes/pretzels/biscuits/waffles etc.?

The Blue Room FAQ
I only use my starter for bread loaves, so I don't have other recipes that I can recommend from experience. Give Google a whirl, though, and it should be easy to find some that others have enjoyed. Several readers have let me know that their "pet" works excellently in their favorite recipes of that sort. A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic. Many years ago I had some sourdough bread that I really loved, but I think it was made differently from yours.

How should I store the Salame I purchase from Boudin? And why does it appear white on the outside?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We sell only the traditional Italian dry Salame, which exhibits a beneficial mold growth on the outside. This growth is essential to its flavor and longevity. Salami should be refrigerated once you receive it. The Salame is cured, so  the longer the Salame is stored the more moisture it will lose and harder the Salame will become.

Do you have any other use for excess sourdough starter aside from giving it to friends?

Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum: FAQs Archives
Yes! When I feed my starter, if I know i'm going to bake a hearth bread within the next 3 days, instead of throwing out the excess, without refreshing or feeding it I simply refrigerate up to 1/3 cup starter (about 2.75 ounces / 75 grams) per loaf. Just before adding the salt to the dough, I tear the starter into about 8 pieces and knead it into the dough.
