Lievito Madre per Pane Carasau
Lievito Madre per Pane Carasau
50 Percent Hydration Starter
Start with lievito madre, but instead of feeding it equal parts water and flour, add half as much water as flour, resulting in the desired 50 percent hydration.
Serve pane carasau with agnello brasato (see page 149) and scoop up the juices with the crisp flatbread. Or use it to make pane frattau (see page 149).
