 All of the different yeasts and bacteria are trying to get
 the upper hand in this battle. Other pathogens such as mold
 are also being activated as we added water. Only the strongest
 most adaptable microorganisms will survive.

 Wait for around 24~hours and observe what happens to your starter.
 You might see some early signs of fermentation already. Use your nose
 to smell the dough. Look for bubbles in the dough. Your dough
