White Bread (Mature Starter)
by:
This dough is typical of the dough used in France to make baguettes. Because the starter - called a péte fermentée - is fermented relatively slowly it has time to develop a complex flavor that comes through in the bread. The starter used here is very stiff not like the sponge or poolish starters. Because its made ahead of time and is allowed to ferment twice, it is similar to using leftover dough from a previous batch. Makes: one 8-cup loaf, 2 baguettes, 1 boule, 1 bâtard, or 2 baguette with leftover dought for the next batch.
