Making Bread with Olinda
Sourdough Bread
For this project, I cultivated wild yeast in my kitchen. Once it matured, the culture was prepared as a dough ready to bake into bread. The length process can be seen in the following pages.
Day 1
The dough turned into a dry solid texture. There was no smell but the sample removed from the culture was tough and dry.
This culture solidified over night.
Bubbles formed at the bottom of the bowl. The surface of the culture didn’t have a bumpy surface that would hint toward gas bubbles forming.
When a sample was removed from the culture a fowl odor was revealed along with it. The smell resembled that of urine.
Day 2
The culture hardened overnight and was difficult to take out of the bowl. It looked the same as day one but had a bad odor.
