If you leave the bread out at room temperature for too long, the yeast will die. And yes, whey would absolutely work. I hope you like it!

I wanted to ask you when you soak the grains by adding yogurt or keffir do you leave the bucket out of the fridge at room temperature or do you refrigerate for a few days before baking with it? Also, do you think whey would work?

I usually just put it on my pizza stone with a bit of parchment paper underneath to keep it from sticking. When I make multiple loaves, I use a big cookie sheet.

I add about a 1/2 cup of kefir (you could use yogurt or buttermilk, too) in the measuring cup before adding the water. I make sure that the liquid (kefir + water) is equal to the amount of water called for in the recipe. It actually makes a REALLY good loaf - I much prefer it to the unsoaked version. The dairy helps the bread to brown more when it cooks. Nice crusty edges... oh, my! : ) MelissaMelissa Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855126813346312708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685723366142370856.post-18911715242525126842011-10-04T08:45:39.043-05:002011-10-04T08:45:39.043-05:00Kelly, sometimes my mind is a little slow these da...Kelly, sometimes my mind is a little slow these days, but I just figured out exactly who you are!

I am so sorry, we were in Germany and had some hotels with no internet connection and some with spotty connections. It is so nice to meet someone from Alabama. Looks like you have been very busy! I haven't had a fig since I was a little girl. My grandmother had them on her property, but she moved in with us when I was 12 so that was a long time ago :)Southernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742517323759698146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685723366142370856.post-52175684330257251872011-08-10T20:09:53.528-05:002011-08-10T20:09:53.528-05:00Thanks, guys!
