When you realize that there is nothing you can do to make the dough rise to double its size except wait and watch, you also realise that there are so many things not in your control and sometimes all you can do is wait. What bread baking has taught me more than anything else is patience. ![]() The same starter which doubled in less than 3 hours just a couple of months ago now takes nearly 6 hours and more if it is left to double at night.
