My cultures came from Ed Wood. Sourdo.com
I have his cultures from Paris, 2 from Italy and San Francisco.
I use King Arthurs organic AP flour for the cultures. I dont proof them much because my wife doesnt like strong sour bread.
The Italian ones make great sourdough pizza. I make pizza every Sunday if we are in town.
I mix the ingredients at 6 am in the morning, plan on baking about 430 pm. I use a combination of Jim Lahey's technique and the technique described in Tartine Bread.
