\item[Aliquot jar] A small piece of dough extracted after creating initial
dough strength. The aliquot jar is used to monitor the dough's fermentation progress.
It's important to ensure the dough's water temperature in the aliquot matches
your room temperature for accurate readings. Be mindful that the aliquot
jar may not be as effective if there are significant temperature
fluctuations in your kitchen. This is because the small dough sample in
the aliquot can heat up or cool down faster than the main dough mass,
potentially impairing its ability to accurately monitor fermentation.
It's crucial to use a cylindrical-shaped aliquot container to properly judge
the dough's size increase.

\item[Bassinage method] A bread making technique involving the staged addition of water
to the dough. Initially, the dough is mixed to a lower hydration level,
allowing gluten bonds to form more effectively. Once these gluten structures
are established, additional water is gradually incorporated through further
kneading. This method enhances the dough's extensibility, especially beneficial
when working with lower-gluten flours. By employing the bassinage method,
bakers can achieve a dough that is both strong and extensible.

It is a direct indicator of the flour's ability to withstand the fermentation
