Not the woman who tied you to her apron strings when you were four, but more of a wiggly mass of flour, water, and yeast that you keep in your refrigerator. You use a little bit of it each time you make your special bread (sourdough is famous for this - often called a “starter”), and you have to feed it - i.e., add more flour and water to it at regular intervals to keep it alive and fresh. In castellano, at least colloquially, that’s a masa madre, or mother dough. Unsurprisingly, it’s also the name of various bakeries throughout the Latin American world, and at one time, there was one here in Buenos Aires, in Villa Crespo, simply called Masamadre. I’m not 100% certain from my searches, but I gather that at some point they packed up and moved to Chacarita, and reopened as Masamadre es con M, at Olleros 3891, a few blocks from the Chacarita Cemetery. I’m assuming that means it’s still under the guiding hand of Juan Morín, who built quite a name for himself for his artesanal breads (although I didn’t see any evidence of it, I’ve since learned that they sell their breads as well).
