Siegfried – the Birth (Starter)

This is the big brother of Hermann, the sweetie. Siegfried starts out the same as Hermann, however the feeding is different and is what turns this into bread dough instead of cake dough. Check out part 2 SIEGFRIED – The Feeding and Care for instructions on how to raise your Siegfried baby. Oh, and don’t forget to check out his little brother Hermann! He is in charge of the cakes.
