Sponge?

[Russell]

you know how when you make bread, you make a sponge to start the bread, well mine has been doing it's thing for almost 11 hours now, and it still hasn't fallen. Should i just go ahead and use it to make the bread?

Miguzi, I've had sponges take several days for sourdough. Is that what you're making?

Here's a great Q&A site that may be able to help you some.

i WAS making french baguettes. I made them with the un-fallen sponge, and the turned out just as good as the ones i have made with a fallen sponge.

What do you mean by the term "unfallen", its new to me. Someone explain?

Please post the recipe. Off the top of my head though, I don't think you should be waiting 11 hours to make french baguettes.

Sorry, I just remembered the deal with baguettes. Ok, I'm assuming you left it in the fridge over night. But I've never heard of waiting for a sponge to be "fallen". What is this supposed to accomplish?

Hmmm... Like Jasonr, I would like to know myself! What say you, miguzi?
