Day 11

Today is the day! When checking back in on the culture, I noticed that the smell was very reminiscent of that classic sourdough bread smell! With this step being reach the process of cultivating the yeast starter culture is coming along great. Let’s just hope that nothing goes wrong from here on, because we’re getting closer to bread baking time!

There was one misstep today however, when make the new batch of yeast mix I had accidentally added a bit too much water to the mix and had to add ~1tsp of extra flour mix in order to thicken the culture mix once again to its proper consistency.
