How to bake bread with your original yeast 1.

Now you have your own yeast water.

It is time to bake your bread.
What kind of bread do you want to bake?

Savory bread ? Sweet bread? or Bagels?

You can bake any kinds of bread with your yeast but let's bake simple petite rolls first.

I use the method to make pre-fermetnted dough first.

Then use the pre-fermented dough to make dough to bake.

♪What you need to make pre-fermented dough♪

' a container with lid (zip-lock container, topperware ...)

' yeast water (bring it to room temperature if you kept it in the refrigerator)

' whole wheat flour

1. pour 80g (3 oz) yeast water in the container (soaked raisins can go into the dough if you prefer)

2. mix in 100g (3.5oz) of whole wheat flour

knead it with spoon or folk for about 3-5minutes.

When it is hot (room temperature80 °F and above), add a tiny bit of salt to avoid over fermentation.

Over fermentation makes your dough very sour.

Cover and let it sit over night. It will doubles-triple in bulk. (see picture here)

It's amazing to see how it grows !!

FYI: 2/16/08, this mixture tripled in 10 hours at room temperature. (77 degreesF)

If you don't see any changes in your dough, unfortunatelly your yeast water was not good.
Start over from making new yeast water...

**If you want to bake white bread, you can do this process with AP flour or bread flour but I think using whole wheat flour makes the dough more energized.
