sourdough -- how making bread fits my lifestyle
I love sourdough bread. And I find it fits my lifestyle better anyway.
I work at home. And with baker's yeast bread, I may forget that something is bulk fermenting and it over ferments. With my sourdough bread, I don't have to worry about it. I bulk ferment and proof in my basement at 70f. and I can forget about it for a few hours and not worry about it.
Today for the first time I proofed and then retarded in the fridge and baked early this morning straight from the refrigerator. It worked great, sourdough rye, came out wonderful.
Anyone else find that this fits their lifetstyle better?
