My Soaker dough process 8/8/2011

This is how my soaker looks about a day after it was in the refrigerator.  I was busy working outside these last two days, and almost forgot about mixing the leavin.  I mixed it with Ultragain Whole Wheat flour ,and the starter from the wheat berries.  The leaving looks like a biga.  I don’t know if it supposed to look like that or not.  Whenever the leavin looks like it has fermented enough, it will be mixed into the final dough, with Ulragrain flour and some other flour.  This was 8/7/2011.


I did mix my final dough last evening, and incorporated the soaker and leavin.  I used the Ultragrain Flour and the Full Strength/Superative flour, in the combination for the final dough flours.  The dough was very sticky and I did a few stretch and folds, and then the dough went into the refrigerator until this morning.  I took the dough out and did 2 more stretch and folds and then floured the dough ball.
