\subsection{Why does my starter not float after using the float test?}
|
||||
The float test may not reliably determine your starter's readiness for dough
|
||||
inoculation. While it's effective for wheat-based doughs, where ample gas gets
|
||||
trapped in the gluten matrix, it's less reliable for non-wheat doughs. In non-
|
||||
wheat doughs, the gas generated during fermentation tends to escape, causing
|
||||
the starter to likely sink.
|
||||
|
||||
For more accurate assessments of your starter's readiness, watch for bubbles
|
||||
at the container's edge and consider its aroma. A mature starter should emit a
|
||||
mildly sour scent without being overly pungent.
