Bubbling Batch Sourdough Starter

I see a lot of folks claiming that their starters are 200 years old strains from France or Italy and as someone who has been using the same trusty starter now for over 20 years, I can't help but wonder how someone can actually confirm that? I am also skeptical that the age of a starter strain has anything to do with the quality of the breads or pizza's it produces.

​

What I can tell you about my starter is that there was a local baker in my area (a Certified Master Baker w/ some celebrity caché) who made the best breads I have ever tasted. When he started making sourdough pizzas which had the best tasting crust I have ever encountered, I hatched a scheme to get my hands on some of the starter that he was using

​

I thought about offering one of the morning prep cooks some money to sneak me some but honestly never really got up the guts to do it.  Luckily, I came up with another diabolical scheme to get my hands on this magical wild yeast strain! One day, I went into the shop and convinced the girl at the counter to sell me a couple doughballs under the guise that I wanted to make homemade pizzas to impress friends that were coming into town.  She hesitated, confused, and told me there was no button for ringing up a dough ball, but kind soul that she was, she figured out a way to ring it up and package a couple dough balls for me.  

​

I felt like I had won the lottery that day and if you love sourdough and sourdough pizzas as much as I do, this is your chance to feel like you hit the jackpot too!
