desperanceI was supposed to be doing a couple of things this weekend gone. One of them was eating the last of last week's loaf, and the other was baking a new bread.
What with one thing and another, neither of those things happened.
Which means that the levain, the sourdough starter I've been cultivating since Wednesday is already more mature than it ought to be, and I'm not going to use it until at least tomorrow. I don't know if it'll get past its best, or curl up and die on me altogether, or just get more and more sour and delicious. I guess we'll find out. I still have fallback emergency yeast if I need it, and I can always start the levain process again... (But I want this one to work: it's got lots of rye in it, and I'm interested. Just, I can't bake one loaf while I still have a good chunk of the previous one. Can't do it. No.)
