      @Giles:

      I used all Levain.  Some recipes call for a mix of dried or fresh yeast and Levain (a hybrid leavening dough).  My last loaves were made with a Poolish made with a tiny amount of dried yeast and then the rest of the flour, water, salt and Levain was added to the Poolish….

      The wholemeal I did this morning was a Levain only too… trust you Levain! They look amazing G!

            Amazing work gentlemen. I have some catching up to do.

              And the Levain is going mad in the fridge:

                If you didn't use any extra dry or fresh yeast… yes. With your Levain you rather won't need any extra yeast. I would be scared what this Levain does at night  :D... IT'S ALIVE  ??? ??? ???

                                  I set out to make an Irish Soda Bread, and unwittingly ended up with an Irish Flat Bread…..Note to self - more dry ingredients next time... 🙂

                                    Tastes OK though?

                                    Has anyone experienced a sourdough flopping after being allowed to proof too long? Mine has now doubled in size after a four hour proofing. I’m really afraid in won’t last until morning.

                                      Not cut into it yet, but it smells great. (Smellovision, where are you, when we need you?)

                                      Stick it in the fridge to slow it down.  You can put into oven straight out of the fridge…..

                                          I’m bottling it and baking tonight.

                                          EDIT: scratch that, I’m hedging my bets. Baking one now and I’ll leave the other for the morning. Worst case I have one good bread tomorrow. Best case I have two and can compare results.
