The starter

The word is old, from the Turkish maya, and Romanian villages also called it plămădeală. After the bread was kneaded in the trough, the dough left on its sides was scraped off, kneaded again and set to rise: that was the start of the next loaf. The jar of starter sat in the cool cellar from one bake to the next.

That is how the bread rises here too: on starter alone, no yeast, slowly. It gives the thick crust, the open crumb and the slightly tangy taste.
