Day 19-22

Note: this step took 2 extra days because of oven issues and leaven preparation issues

The night before I bake my bread I make the leaven. It was composed of 1 table spoon of my mix culture, 1.66 cups of flour mix and 0.5 water. After mixing I added 0.33 cup of water. I covered it with a kitchen towel and placed in a cool and dark corner in the kitchen. It was left overnight

The leaven during the next morning

The Next morning a float test was preformed on one tablespoon of leaven in a glass full of water. The float test shows that the homemade yeast is working by trapping gas and at this point the dough becomes lighter than the water itself. it indicates the culture mix is close to the baking portion.
