Hello everyone! I wrote earlier, but cant find where it went. I have 2 questions about water. When baking bread, should I use my bottled water or tap? When making a prefermenter, should I make my water a certain temperature? I love this website, and everybody as enthusiastic as my husband and I.

   Thanks,  Georgie and Adam

for your answer to that first question.  Use your tap if the chlorine level is low and you normally drink it.

First of all wellcome...about the water temp...I'd recommend lukewarm, especially if the room temp is 17 or above...Happy baking from Quito. Paolo
