This article summarizes the findings of three test bakes with desem (Belgian style sourdough starter) and my conventional sourdough starter and one test bake with desem versus my conventional starter after seven months of it being fed and maintained the same as the desem. At the end of the article, you’ll find a summary of both cultivation and maintenance methods.
