Normally,
the microorganisms on the surface of the grain can't consume the freed maltose
molecules, which remain hidden inside the germ. But as we grind the flour, a
feeding frenzy takes place. Generally, the warmer the temperature, the faster
this reaction occurs. That's why a long fermentation is key to making great
bread. It takes time for the amylase to break down most of the starch into
simple sugars, which are not only consumed by the yeast but are also essential
to the \emph{Maillard reaction}, responsible for enhanced browning during the
baking process.
