Visible Fermentation

We’ve all heard this before: “Let the dough rise until it is double in size.” Well, how much is that?! When I look at a lump of dough, it is sometimes hard for me to remember how big it was originally… especially when it is in a rounded bowl.

Notice these square containers permit visualizing the level of fermentation. And you can immediately see when it is double in size… or more! If you plan on getting a couple of these, keep in mind, if let unattended, it could easily triple in volume. So get one that is big enough for your needs!

    That is great, Sandy! Welcome to the club! It is hard to go wrong with the techniques of Lahey and Reinhart, but let me know if you have any questions!
