Goodbye Lactobacillus....

Hello bifidobacterium! Here's an interesting scientific paper about using bifidobacteria for breadmaking. It sounds like good stuff!

The only thing is ------ get your pooper scooper ready!

I’m not ready to take the plunge :D

I’ve said in the past, “I’ll try anything once”. I now know I lied...

Very interesting, Lactobacillus sp. are also found in human stool of course.

Bifido is in those "probiotic" supplements, mostly included with Lactobacillus, but at least one product on amazon has a bifido strain by itself.

Though I doubt the supplements have the chicken variety that the article touts.  ;-)

Dan, using probiotic supplements to create a starter sounds like an experiment you might have experience with.  ;-)

I often put a bit of milk kefir in my bread - it is sort of like a dash of buttermilk. It does act as a dough conditioner, and it does contain bifidobacteria.
