| 180 g second leaven sponge -> 540 g ripe
leaven sponge |
 |
| after 3 hours |
|
 |
| pH of 4.51 |
|
 |
| add water |
|
 |
| add flour |
|
| Again, after 3 hours measure a pH of 4.51.
The starter became more alive with larger
bubbles and its surface bulging. Due to the
increase in volume and a possible larger
rise made the 1 qt (1 l) container inadequate
and everything was moved to a larger bowl.
There, 180 water and 180 g flour was added. |
| continuing to grow 540 g ripe leaven sponge
|
 |
| starting to bulge |
|
 |
| pH of 4.60 |
|
 |
| more bulging |
|
 |
| bigger bubbles |
|
| Since I am attempting to follow the SF recipe which calls for a higher temperature for
growing the sponge, the bowl is put in a
warmer spot which is around 80 F (26 C).
Three hours into fermenting this stage, the
pH is 4.60, the starter is bulging more,
and big bubbles show. |
