Hold your horses! The Sourdough Inn isn’t precisely what it’s possible you’ll be considering. At least for me, I assumed it was a resort that gives a loaf of freshly baked sourdough like DoubleTree does with their cookies. A DREAM!
Turns out it’s a “hotel” JUST in your sourdough starter particularly and a blessing to bakers who’re on the transfer.
The Sourdough Inn opened in Brooklyn, NY throughout the winter of 2015 as a way to assist Brooklyn hipsters study extra about sourdough bread. In 2020 it relocated to Ørestad, south of Copenhagen, Denmark; a rustic with a wealthy historical past in sourdough. If you occur to be going away on a trip, the Sourdough Inn will home and care for your sourdough starter. Yes, it’s a bread daycare!
