Testing 2 different Finnish rye bread starters 😯

rye flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

sourdough starter

🥗Healthier: store-bought sourdough

💰Cheaper: commercial yeast

Commercial yeast is more accessible and less time-consuming.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: sugar

Maple syrup offers a unique flavor while being a natural sweetener.

Test the smell of the two different starters.

Evaluate the color of the breads, noting one is browner than the other.

Taste the bread made with the fin crisp starter and note it has a good flavor but may be weak due to only being fed for two days.

Taste the bread made with the Vasan ru palet starter and note it is unbelievably good and tastes like store-bought bread.

Mention that both breads look very similar and were made with the same recipe.

Accidentally added a little more yeast to the later bread made with the Vasan ru palet starter.

Decide which starter to use next time based on taste preference.
