Biga Fail...
So I decided last night I wanted bread for today, and didn't have "time" to start a levain from my NMNF starter. Biga! I thought, so I mixed it up with some dry yeast and went to bed. I got up this morning, and it's flat. Yeast expired in 2018...should have looked at that. Apparently I don't use yeast much. In an effort to save the flour (which I have to import and don't want to waste) I mixed some NMNF into some warm water and worked it into the biga. I'm really hoping this will work. It'll be kinda like a poolish right?
If fermentation did not occur (dead yeast) to the dough then it would be like a long autolyze, which should work fine by adding a SD starter.
