Hi guys! I just wanna share my yeast water loaf journey. I started the yeast water made with organic blueberries on 2/16/26
Kindly took care of my stater with patience. The fruit started float to the top on Day 4 with a bubbly , color changed to pink , and the smell like a sparkle blueberry drink.
Then, Day 8 , I decided to mix the dough at 6 am . I was pretty nervous because I was not sure if my yeast water was ready. I made it with out added a dry yeast. After following the instructions, when I waited for the first bulk fermentation. I checked the dough pretty often. Of course, I was curious if it’s gonna work. Yeah.. I saw the bubbly on the dough. I kept checking the poke test after 5 pm. ( it was pretty sticky) Then 6 p.m. I pre shaped the dough, after 20 minutes, I shaped it , and directly rest in the fridge over night.
The nervous part was the time to bake. Of course, after I learned from the last time I baked the classic loaf (I forgot to turn the heat down) . I kept checking the oven temperatures.
Yes! I think I nailed it!
