leaven oomph...
I normally make my leaven over night. It rises well beyond doubling by the time I'm ready to mix. I recently was unable to get to it though, and by the time I did it had fallen back down to original levels. I assumed that meant it would not be a good idea to use, so I just made some pan bread out of it (tasty). Am I right that it would not have given my bread a good rise? Can a fully fallen leaven still rise a loaf? Thanks in advance.
