No salt in the formula?
please read again ... the salt is out there ....
Can't understand how I missed that; must have read it half a dozen times. Forgive me, my eyes (and my brain) are more than 7 decades old and probably in need of a tuneup.
The first one busting right out of the picture! The second looks pretty good too! What do you think of Bigas? Is this your first?
well actually i use the biga a lot , it gives a lot of taste to my loafs ,keeps the bread fresh for an extra day or two without using any oil and it helps me use less yeast . instead of using 2 teaspoons for 600 g of flour i use 1 1/4 and get the same result
my experience with sourdough is a little less successful so biga is somewhere in the middle .
