There is no question that a wholegrain starter gives a more complex flavour to your sourdough. It is more flavoursome. Because it takes some experience to get to know your flour, I recommend using a wholegrain starter once you have been successfully baking for a couple of months. Then play! Try different flours to discover the range of flavours and textures that they create in your bread. In this video tutorial, Vanessa explains how to get starter with a wholemeal starter.
