I made a Lievito Madre and I’m never going back to regular starters

Absolutely the most sourdough tasting sourdough bread I’ve ever made, or tasted!

I used the same recipe I always use but made it with the Lievito Madre that I made from apple (fruit) water. Lemme tell ya, this starter takes off like a damn rocket lol so easy and so fast. If you’ve been struggling, making a starter, do this I promise you will never struggle again.

Edit to add starter recipe-

Started with 2 apples cubed in a jar, tablespoon or so of honey and fill the jar with water. Store with a loose lid, shake twice a day (tighten the lid before you shake lol) for 48 hours. It’s done when it smells like apple cider vinegar and has visible bubbles. Strain the apples and discard, in a bowl, add 50 g of the fruit water to 100 g of flour and mix or kneed into a nice dough ball. Place that ball in a jar cover loosely and let sit for 24 hours. Store the fruit water in the fridge. After 24 hours take 25 g of the dough ball (if there’s any dryness on the top of the ball, just discard that then take your 25 g out) place that 25 g in a bowl and discard the rest, add 100 g of flour and 50 g of the fruit water, kneed into a dough and add it to the jar and repeat the process over and over for 3, 4 days. Once the stater doubles (will most likely triple or quadruple) in four hours it’s ready to bake with. Use it just as you would any regular starter, but you do have to mix however much you need with some of the water from your recipe before you use it cause it is a stiff starter.
