Today I will be baking the bread! YAY!! So I checked up on my leaven and it had risen, and consisted of gas bubbles!
I then decided to try the float test, I filled a glass of water and transferred a 1/2 of a teaspoon of my leaven (from the bottom of the culture).
It floats! The reason it is able to float is due to the amount of gas trapped in the dough.It became lighter than the water substance! I discarded half of my leaven and added ½ plus ⅓ of my flour mix and added a ⅓ of a cup of water and mixed, mixed with my bare hands. I will let my new leaven alone for 2 ½ hours.
I came back after 2 ½ hours and repeated the flow test, thankfully my leaven floated! I am ready to start!!
