In homage to my friend and mentor Phil Turner, who taught me the art and science of sourdough. We would talk for hours in his kitchen about local flour, local business, sharp knives, regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and the importance of community… just as the “community” of microbes would work through the dough kneaded with the freshly milled flour I had brought. I think this flour, milled from a blend of Joaquin Oro, a wheat explicitly bred for our California climate, and Abruzzi Rye, a heritage Italian rye also grown in our region, would be one Phil would be proud of.
