Michael, I explain much of that upthread in this post (and I hope this link goes to the right place):
The short answers are:
- yes it is much like a sourdough except more watery and it is fed with fruit not flour
- it doesn’t start with commercial yeast but the wild yeast that’s always on fresh fruit!
- and yes the yeast water is mixed with flour to then make bread in the usual way
- the woman from Bali in the video linked in that earlier post explains it much better
As I said in that post, I’ve stopped making yeast water for a year now but could return to it someday. But I am still making bread, and in fact I just made a fresh-ground rye dough enough for four loaves that is in a covered bowl in the fridge. Tomorrow I plan to bake two loaves from it.
Cheers!
Mark
