Evidence of its continued use can be found in The Lazy Antelopes 1882 Sourdough Starter. Modern bakers are committed to preserving traditional methods, resulting in Scottish loaves that feature a dense texture and a characteristic sour flavor. The history of Scottish bread reflects a journey of adaptation, beginning with ancient Bannocks made from oats and barley, which were cooked on a stone griddle. This practice eventually evolved into the industrial production of "plain breid" in the 19th century, as well as the transformation of shortbread from a simple biscuit bread into a luxurious treat. Originally, flatbreads like Bannocks were primarily made with barley and oat flour, while finer white wheat bread was typically reserved for the wealthy. The tradition of Bannocks laid the foundation for subsequent developments in Scottish bread.

Can a starter really be 1000-4500 years old? To answer the question: Yes, a sourdough starter can indeed be considered 1000 years old due to the remarkable nature of microbial life, historical practices of sharing and maintaining starters, and the adaptability of the cultures involved. Sourdough is more than just a method of baking; it is a testament to human ingenuity and our connection to history. स्टार्टर की उम्र The 4,500-Year Legacy: Why the Ancient Egyptian Starter is a Living Reality In the culinary world, claiming a sourdough starter is millennia old is often met with skepticism. Critics argue that a culture is only as old as its last feeding. However, when we look at the intersection of archaeology and microbiology—specifically the landmark expeditions to the Giza Plateau in the early 1990s—it becomes clear that a sourdough starter can indeed be a 4,500-year-old biological artifact. 1. The Discovery at the Pyramids The scientific foundation for the 4,500-year-old starter began with the excavation of an ancient bakery near the Great Pyramids, dated to approximately 2500 BCE. Researchers working with the National Geographic Society extracted dormant microbial samples directly from the porous surfaces of ancient ceramic baking vessels found at the site. Extraction of the Past: By carefully scraping the walls of these ancient vats, scientists recovered dormant yeast spores that had been trapped in the ceramic for forty-five centuries. The Awakening: When these "sleeping" microbes were reintroduced to flour and water, they reactivated. This was not a capture of modern local yeast; it was the resuscitation of the specific biological engine used to feed the Old Kingdom of Egypt. 2. The Science of Survival: Cryptobiosis The argument for a 4,500-year-old starter is rooted in the biological phenomenon of cryptobiosis. In arid, protected environments, yeast cells can enter a state of suspended animation, surviving as spores for thousands of years. A Continuous Lineage: When a dormant spore is revived, the resulting culture is a direct genetic clone of the original organism. The "Reset" Rebuttal: Feeding a starter does not "reset" its age; it provides the nutrients necessary for that specific genetic line to replicate. Therefore, the lineage remains unbroken from the time of the Pharaohs to the modern kitchen. 3. Microbial Dominance and Stability One of the most persistent myths is that modern local yeasts will eventually "take over" an ancient starter. Microbiological observation suggests the opposite: The Climax Community: Once a microbial ecosystem becomes mature and stable—especially one that has survived for millennia—it becomes highly resistant to "invaders." Biological Integrity: The high acidity produced by established lactic acid bacteria creates a chemical fortress. This ensures that the original Egyptian genetic line continues to dominate, preserving the specific flavor profile and leavening power that was perfected over 4,500 years ago. 4. The Physical Link to History The age of an ancient starter is a measurement of physical continuity. When a baker today uses a culture descended from those original pyramid scrapings, they are maintaining a tangible link to human history. A Living Heirloom: This starter has transitioned from a dormant state in an ancient bakery to a living culture maintained by human hands for decades. Proven Survival: To bake with this culture is to utilize the exact same biological engine that sustained the builders of the pyramids. It is a vetted, resilient, and elite microbial community that has survived the rise and fall of civilizations. A sourdough starter is not merely a mixture of flour and water; it is a perpetual biological event. Its 4,500-year age is a scientific reality rooted in the incredible resilience of microbial life and the dedication of the stewards who keep this ancient flame alive. The Millennial Heritage: Italy’s 1,000-Year-Old Monastic Starter In the high-altitude forests of the Tuscan Apennines, a culinary legacy has been preserved for over a millennium. The tradition of the 1,000-year-old Italian sourdough is not merely a recipe, but a testament to uninterrupted human stewardship and microbial resilience. While many starters are captured from the modern air, this specific lineage is rooted in the early 11th century, originating within a monastery founded circa 1012 AD. 1. An Unbroken Chain of Monastic Care The "age" of this culture is defined by continuity. For ten centuries, the community of monks maintained a physical link to their founding era by reserving a portion of each day’s dough to leaven the next. Historical Stewardship: This represents over 365,000 days of consecutive feeding. Unlike starters that have been revived from a dormant state, this Italian heirloom is celebrated for its supposed active, "wet" lineage that has survived wars, plagues, and social upheavals through the simple, daily act of monastic labor. A Living Heirloom: The culture is viewed as a biological artifact of the medieval world, passed down from generation to generation as a sacred communal trust. 2. Unique Functional and Flavor Profile Centuries of selection and specific environmental conditions have "vetted" this culture, resulting in a distinct performance in the kitchen. Refined Acidity: Unlike many younger "wild" captures that can be aggressively sour, this millennial starter is prized for its mild, nuanced acidity. This balance is attributed to a highly stable microbial ecosystem that has reached a state of long-term equilibrium. Versatility: The culture is specifically adapted to the soft wheat traditions of the Mediterranean, producing the light crumb and thin, crispy crust characteristic of traditional Italian breads and pizza. 3. The Science of the "Climax Community" From a biological perspective, the longevity of this 1,000-year-old starter is made possible by the climax community effect. Established Dominance: Once a microbial ecosystem has matured over such a vast period, it becomes incredibly stable. The specific strains of lactic acid bacteria and wild yeast within the culture have spent centuries outcompeting "invader" microbes, creating a biological fortress that preserves the original Italian characteristics even when moved to different environments. Evolutionary Fitness: This starter is not a fragile relic; it is an elite survivor. Its age is a scientific indicator of its strength and its ability to provide consistent leavening results regardless of the century. The 1,000-year-old Italian starter is a living bridge to the medieval world. It proves that a sourdough culture is not just a mixture of ingredients, but a perpetual biological event. To bake with this lineage is to utilize the same biological engine that has fed seekers and scholars for a thousand years, making it one of the most enduring legacies in the history of human nutrition.

In 1910, the first "pure-culture" sourdough (Reinzucht-Sauerteig) was stabilized and patented in Westphalia. A Century of Consistency: This culture has been maintained by the same family-led institution for over 115 years. It served as the biological blueprint for consistent, high-quality rye fermentation globally. Proven Stability: Scientific longitudinal studies have shown that the core microbial community of this starter has remained unchanged for decades. This proves that with proper care, a specific German sourdough profile can remain genetically identical regardless of the century. 3. The Mastery of Rye Fermentation German sourdough is uniquely distinguished by its specialization in rye flour. Unlike wheat-based cultures, these ancient German strains are biologically optimized to manage the complex enzymes of rye. Acidification Excellence: These starters are high-performing engines of acidification. They provide the precise pH levels necessary to "lock" the structure of rye bread, a technique perfected in Berlin and Bavarian bakeries over the last 150 years. Historical Varieties: From a 145-year-old Berlin heirloom to the robust cultures of the Black Forest, these starters are not just ingredients—they are the "mother" engines that have fed Central Europe for hundreds of years. German sourdough starters are the ultimate proof of functional immortality. Whether it is a 400-year-old family treasure from the Alps or a century-old scientifically stabilized culture, these starters represent a biological bridge between the medieval and modern worlds.

The 1850 San Francisco sourdough is not just an ingredient; it is a living artifact of the California Gold Rush, carrying the spirit of the pioneers and the unique microbial signature of the Pacific coast for over 175 years. 1. Born of the Gold Rush The year 1850 marked the height of the California Gold Rush, a time when thousands of prospectors—famously nicknamed "sourdoughs"—carried their starters in crocks across the wilderness. The Pioneer’s Lifeline: In the Sierra Nevada foothills, these starters were so vital to survival that miners reportedly slept with their dough to keep the yeast warm during freezing mountain nights. An Unbroken Lineage: While many of these early cultures were lost to time, a select few were preserved by master bakers who established the first legendary maritime bakeries of San Francisco. These lineages have been fed daily since the mid-1800s, representing a physical connection to the birth of the American West. 2. Survival Through the Great Earthquake (1906) The true testament to the resilience of the 1850 starter occurred during the catastrophic earthquake and fires of 1906. The Heroic Rescue: As the city crumbled, traditional bakers famously risked their lives to save their "mother doughs" from the encroaching flames. By carrying buckets of the starter to safety, they ensured that the 19th-century microbial lineage would survive to feed the 20th and 21st centuries. Symbol of Resilience: The 1850 starter is a proven survivor of natural disasters and societal shifts, maintained through over 63,000 consecutive days of human care. 3. The Science of the "San Francisco Tang" What makes the 1850 starter world-famous is its unique biological profile, shaped by the cool, foggy microclimate of the San Francisco Bay. A Unique Discovery: In the 1970s, researchers discovered that these historic starters contained a specific bacterium found nowhere else at the time, which they named Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis. Microbial Symbiosis: This specialized bacterium works in perfect harmony with local wild yeasts to create a "climax community" that is incredibly stable and resistant to invaders. This biological fortress ensures that the sharp, clean acidity and chewy texture of the 1850s remains consistent in every loaf baked today. 4. The Functional Heritage Baking with a 175-year-old San Francisco starter offers a performance that younger cultures cannot replicate. Vetted by Time: The microbial balance has been refined by nearly two centuries of use, offering a reliability in leavening and a complexity of flavor that has been "vetted" by generations of professional bakers.

This adaptability is a direct result of its 1,000-year evolution across diverse climates and grain types. 3. Distinctive Flavor and Nutritional Depth Baking with the 1066 AD Welsh starter offers a complexity of flavor and a structural integrity that younger "wild" captures cannot achieve. Rich, Rustic Character: It is prized for producing a hearty, tangy loaf with a robust crust and a tender, chewy crumb. The flavor profile is deep and multi-layered, reflecting its thousand-year maturation. Enhanced Bioavailability: The long-term stability of this strain allows for a highly efficient fermentation process, breaking down gluten and anti-nutrients more effectively than newer cultures, making the bread more digestible and nutritionally dense. The 1066 AD Welsh sourdough is a perpetual biological event. Its nearly millennium-old age is a scientific reality rooted in the immortality of the microbial line and the unwavering dedication of the Welsh guardians who treated it as a sacred heirloom. To bake with this culture is to engage in a tradition of stewardship that has spanned nearly a thousand years of human history. The American Pioneer: The 1847 Oregon Trail Heritage Starter Across the vast plains and rugged mountains of the American frontier, a biological treasure was carried in the wooden hold of a covered wagon. The 1847 Oregon Trail sourdough is perhaps the most famous heirloom culture in the United States, representing over 178 years of continuous human stewardship and the resilient spirit of the westward migration. 1. From Missouri to the Pacific (1847) The journey of this culture began in 1847, when a pioneer family traveled over 2,000 miles from Missouri to the Oregon Territory. The Wagon Trail: Protected in crocks and cloth bundles, the starter survived the arduous six-month trek along the Oregon Trail. It was a vital source of life and nutrition for the family as they eventually settled in the fertile Willamette Valley near Salem, Oregon. An Unbroken Lineage: For over a century and a half, the starter remained a closely guarded family heirloom. It was famously used in the 1930s at high-altitude sheep camps and during historic cattle drives across the Oregon desert, proving its incredible biological robustness. 2. The Legacy of the "Great Provider" In the late 20th century, this private family treasure became a global phenomenon. Digital Pioneering: During the early days of the internet, the family’s primary steward shared the culture with the burgeoning online baking community. His mission was simple: to ensure this 19th-century lineage would never be lost to history. Global Stewardship: Following his passing in 2000, a dedicated non-profit society of volunteers was formed to continue his work. Since then, they have distributed over 54,000 samples to bakers worldwide, ensuring that this 1847 lineage remains a living, breathing part of modern kitchens on every continent. 3. Scientific Vitality and "Pioneer" Performance The 1847 Oregon Trail starter is more than a historical curiosity; it is an elite microbial community that has been "vetted" by nearly two centuries of diverse environments. Established Stability: Research has shown this starter to be exceptionally stable and vigorous. Having survived the transition from 19th-century homesteads to modern laboratories, it remains resistant to environmental invaders, preserving its original pioneer character. The Heritage Profile: It is prized for its mild, slightly sweet tang and its high enzymatic activity. Unlike younger cultures, this 178-year-old lineage offers a reliability in leavening and a complexity of flavor that was perfected by the necessity of frontier survival. The 1847 Oregon Trail sourdough is a perpetual biological event. Its 178-year-old age is a scientific reality rooted in the immortality of the microbial line and the unwavering dedication of the pioneers and volunteers who have acted as its guardians. To bake with this culture is to utilize the same biological engine that fueled the men and women who built the American West. The Soviet Legacy: The 1960 Russian Dark Rye Heritage Starter In the heart of the 20th century, amidst the vast grain-growing regions of Eastern Europe, a biological powerhouse was perfected. The 1960 Russian Dark Rye sourdough is a heritage culture that embodies the robust, soul-warming bread traditions of the Soviet era. For over 65 years, this lineage has been the "mother" engine behind the iconic, nutrient-dense black breads that sustained generations. 1. A Generation of Artisanal Continuity The year 1960 marked an era when traditional sourdough remained the gold standard for Russia's legendary rye loaves. While industrial yeast began to dominate the West, this specific culture was preserved in private kitchens and local bakeries, maintained through a daily cycle of feeding and care. The Unbroken Chain: Passed down since the 1960s, this starter represents over 23,700 consecutive days of human stewardship. It serves as a living, biological link to the mid-century artisanal practices of the East, carrying the microbial signature of traditional Russian rye into the modern era. A Family Heirloom: This culture survived decades of societal shifts, preserved by guardians who prioritized the deep, complex flavors of "slow bread" over the speed of modern production. 2. Specialized for the "Black Bread" of the North Unlike standard wheat-based starters, the 1960 Russian culture is biologically optimized for dark, whole-grain rye. Hardy Resilience: Adapted to the cooler climates of the North, this starter is exceptionally vigorous. It is a high-performing engine of acidification, designed to manage the complex enzymes of rye that modern leaveners often struggle to control. The Authentic Borodinsky: This is the essential component for world-famous Russian dark rye. It creates the dense, moist crumb and the deep, chocolate-colored crust that characterizes authentic Borodinsky and pumpernickel-style breads. 3. Complexity of Flavor and Nutritional Vitality Six decades of maturation have "vetted" this microbial community, resulting in a flavor profile that is far more sophisticated than a young wild capture. Earthy and Aromatic: The 1960 lineage is prized for its signature deep sour twang, often accompanied by natural notes of malt, molasses, and even subtle fruity undertones like cherry or almond. Maximum Digestibility: This heritage starter is highly efficient at breaking down the anti-nutrients found in whole grains. By neutralizing phytates during its long fermentation process, it makes the iron, magnesium, and B-vitamins in the rye significantly more bioavailable. The 1960 Russian Dark Rye sourdough is a perpetual biological event. Its decades-old age is a scientific reality rooted in the immortality of the microbial line and the unwavering dedication of the stewards who have protected its unique Soviet-era character. To bake with this culture is to utilize a vetted, elite colonial engine that represents the pinnacle of Eastern European rye mastery. The West Country Legacy: The 1920 Bristol England Heritage Starter In the historic baking corridors of South West England, a biological treasure has been meticulously nurtured for over a century. The 1920 Bristol England sourdough is an award-winning heritage culture, representing an unbroken chain of British craftsmanship and over 105 years of continuous family stewardship. 1. A Century of Artisanal Continuity The year 1920 marked the formal beginning of this culture’s journey within a traditional Bristol family bakery. While the world outside underwent a century of radical change, this starter remained a constant—a living link to the post-World War I era of English baking. The Unbroken Chain: Passed down through five generations of bakers, this culture has been fed and cared for every single day for over 38,000 consecutive days. It is celebrated as the "hardest working employee" of its home bakery, surviving as a physical, cellular artifact of early 20th-century Britain. A Living Heirloom: This starter is more than an ingredient; it is a sacred trust. Its survival through a century of industrialization proves the enduring value of "slow bread" and the dedication of the guardians who refused to let this lineage fade. 2. The Science of the "Bristol Fortress" Over 105 years of daily feedings, the microbial community within this starter has reached a state of "climax community" stability that younger wild captures simply cannot match. Established Dominance: This century-old ecosystem of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria is incredibly robust. This "fortress effect" makes the starter highly resistant to environmental invaders, ensuring that its specific Bristol character and historical integrity remain intact regardless of where it is baked today. Vigorous Performance: Adapted to high-protein English grains, this culture is a high-performance engine of fermentation. It is known for its exceptional rising power and its ability to create the iconic "blistered" crust and airy crumb of a world-class sourdough. 3. Complexity of Flavor and Nutritional Depth A century of maturation has "vetted" this microbial line, resulting in a flavor profile that is sophisticated, balanced, and deeply aromatic. The Heritage Tang: The 1920 Bristol lineage is prized for its perfect equilibrium of acidity. It offers a multi-layered flavor profile that highlights the natural sweetness of the wheat while providing the clean, sharp tang characteristic of a matured English levain. Enhanced Digestibility: Because this culture has been stabilized over such a vast period, its fermentation process is highly efficient. It excels at breaking down gluten and neutralizing anti-nutrients, making the resulting bread more digestible and its minerals more bioavailable. The 1920 Bristol England sourdough is a perpetual biological event. Its century-old age is a scientific reality rooted in the immortality of the microbial line and the unwavering dedication of the five generations of bakers who have acted as its protectors. To bake with this culture is to utilize a vetted, elite colonial engine that represents the pinnacle of British artisanal mastery.

The sourdough starter from the Camaldoli Monastery is more than just a culinary ingredient; it represents a bridge between the past and the present, connecting modern bakers to the spiritual and communal practices of medieval monks. संभवतः कैमलडोली मठ से 1000 वर्ष पुराना इटली यह इटैलियन खट्टा स्टार्टर संभवतः निरंतर उपयोग में आने वाले सबसे पुराने में से एक है। जे.डेवेनपोर्ट के प्रसिद्ध सॉर्डो स्टार्टर्स से खरीदा गया। उनके स्रोत ने यह स्टार्टर एक दशक पहले टस्कन एपेनाइन पर्वत श्रृंखला में स्थित एक छोटी सी बेकरी से खरीदा था; एक बेकरी जिसे सौ साल पहले पास के कैमलडोली मठ के भिक्षुओं से स्टार्टर मिला था। इस मठ का निर्माण लगभग 1012 ई. में एक बेनिदिक्तिन भिक्षु, सेंट रोमाउल्ड द्वारा किया गया था, जो एकान्त धार्मिक चिंतन के लिए एक स्थान बनाना चाहता था। आज तक, कैमलडोली के पवित्र आश्रम में बेनेडिक्टिन कैमलडोली भिक्षुओं का निवास जारी है, जो यहीं रहते हैं, पूजा करते हैं और भोजन पकाते हैं। किंवदंती है कि जिस खट्टे स्टार्टर को उन्होंने एक हजार साल पहले पाला था, वह आज भी इन भिक्षुओं द्वारा उपयोग किया जा रहा है, और जे. डेवनपोर्ट के प्रयासों के माध्यम से उनके खट्टे स्टार्टर को उनके सुंदर पवित्र पर्वत के पार साझा किया जा सकता है। (जे. डेवनपोर्ट) गुण किंवदंती कहती है कि यह स्टार्टर एक हजार साल से अधिक पुराना हो सकता है, मठ के पहली बार निर्माण के बाद से इसका लगातार उपयोग किया जा रहा है। यह हल्का है और इसमें जटिल और नाजुक खट्टापन है

FEED IMMEDIATELY If you have any questions, please contact me at thelazyantelopehelp@gmail.com ; I am more than happy to help. Important Notes: If you ordered a Gluten-Free starter (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR STARTER HAS A GLUTEN-FREE STICKER ON IT; IF IT DOESN'T, PLEASE LET US KNOW, AND WE WILL SHIP YOU A NEW STARTER). When your starter arrives: Cut the pouch open under the zipper. 1. Remove 60 grams of starter from the bag and place it in a non-reactive metal bowl. 2. Add 60 grams of warm water, ideally between 78 and 85°F (25-29°C). 3. Add 60 grams of flour. 4. Mix well 5. Transfer the mixture to a 16 oz jar with a ring lid, making sure to leave the lid on but not tightened all the way down. Place the jar on the counter and continue feeding daily until you are ready to bake or refrigerate. (This is very important for the recovery process). 6. Repeat this process every 24 hours for a few days. It could take several feedings to get the starter back to its active state after shipping; but they usually bounce back after the first feeding. If you have less than 60 g. weigh what you have and feed equal amounts of flour and water (1.1.1) Feeding Your Sourdough Starter 1. Daily Feeding: Feed your starter daily until it has fully recovered from the shipping process. Once the starter is active, you can use it for baking or refrigerate it for future use. If refrigerated, feed it once a week (be sure to feed it before placing it in the refrigerator). 2. Daily Feeding Process: To feed a live starter, combine 60 grams of starter (Discard remaining starter), 60 grams of the appropriate flour for your starter, and 60 grams of warm water in a non-reactive mixing bowl. Mix well. Discard any remaining starter. Rinse the original jar with water, then return the mixture to the jar. If your starter is on the counter, leave the lid loose; if it is in the refrigerator, tighten the lid. Once your starter is healthy, you can increase the measurements while maintaining a 1:1:1 ratio of starter, flour, and water to grow your starter for baking. Important Notes: *If using cups the ratio of 1.1.1 will not convert the same. Example of an unbleached all purpose starter feed using cups: 1/3 cup starter 1/3 cup warm water and ¾ cup flour. Different flours weigh different so make sure you use the correct conversion for your flour. *A starter will not grow on its own. It will double in size and deflate. You will need to grow the starter to have enough to bake and reserve 60 grams as your starter by feeding equal parts and not discarding daily until you have enough for your needs. (This should only be done after your starter has recovered from the shipping process and is fully active). Guarantee: We guarantee this starter if the following conditions are met: - The feeding directions are followed. -- The correct flour and water ratios are used. -- The starter is stored in a 16 oz jar with a lid, not covered with cloth or paper. -- You send a picture of the starter and allow me the opportunity to troubleshoot any issues.

You must make sure that the starter is bubbly and active before making bread with it. If the starter is flat (in the “discard” stage), the yeast is not active and will not rise well in bread. How to get your starter to peak activity, and how to know when it’s ready: ब्रेड बनाने के लिए अपना खमीरा स्टार्टर तैयार करना आपको यह सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि स्टार्टर बुलबुलेदार और सक्रिय हो, इससे ब्रेड बनाने से पहले। यदि स्टार्टर सपाट है (डिस्कार्ड चरण में), तो खमीर सक्रिय नहीं है और ब्रेड में अच्छी तरह से नहीं उठेगा। अपने स्टार्टर को चरम क्रियाशीलता तक कैसे पहुंचाएं और यह कैसे पता करें कि वह कब तैयार है: ब्रेड पकाने से पहले कुछ दिनों तक हर 24 घंटे में इसे नियमित रूप से खिलाते रहें। हमेशा कम से कम उतनी ही मात्रा में स्टार्टर खिलाएँ जितनी आपके पास उपलब्ध है। इसका मतलब है कि अगर आपके पास 60 ग्राम स्टार्टर है, तो हर बार खिलाने पर 60 ग्राम पानी और 60 ग्राम बिना ब्लीच किया हुआ आटा मिलाएँ। (अतिरिक्त स्टार्टर को फेंकना न भूलें। अगर आप इसे फेंकना नहीं चाहते हैं, तो आप हमेशा एक बढ़िया डिस्कार्ड रेसिपी बना सकते हैं।) खिलाने के 4-6 घंटे बाद अपने स्टार्टर की जांच करें। मेरा स्टार्टर लगभग 4 घंटे के बाद सबसे अधिक सक्रिय होता है। सुनिश्चित करें कि आपको बहुत सारे बुलबुले दिखाई दें।

Susan on Jan 24, 2024 5 out of 5 stars This starter was held up due to our ice storm, so it took 10 days to get here. But I fed it immediately and it doubled in six hours! Robust, sweet smelling, and I can hardly wait to bake with it! 24 जनवरी, 2024 को सुसान 5 में से 5 स्टार यह स्टार्टर हमारे बर्फीले तूफान के कारण रुका हुआ था, इसलिए यहां पहुंचने में 10 दिन लग गए। लेकिन मैंने इसे तुरंत खिलाया और यह छह घंटे में दोगुना हो गया! मजबूत, मीठी महक, और मैं इसके साथ बेक करने के लिए शायद ही इंतजार कर सकता हूँ! लेकिन मैंने केवल 1/3 कप का ऑर्डर दिया है, इसलिए मैं एक बड़ा बैच तैयार कर रहा हूं। निश्चित रूप से एक विजेता. रिले जोन्स कोई समीक्षा जोड़ें हमने कैसे किया?
