Ideally, it (the temperature for starter culture) should hoover around =
85 - 90F, however many people miss that very important point...
Like me, for instance. Not only miss, but don't believe.
Another point frequently missed is that you do not need to quote the
entire message to comment it.
Anybody who wants to review the subject message can download
it by clicking on the news ID, or get it at Google Groups. Messages

obstacle and an aid.
Here is a quiz on more or less of the same subject. What is the matter
with the bread in the following photo?:

The dough went to pieces during the rise, and the tops are altogether
ugly. Also I could not get it golden brown by raising the oven =
temperature
and increasing the time of the bake. And it is very difficult to toast =
without
scorching. It did not rise as well as usual. But we are eating it =
anyway,
and it tastes pretty good.
I am pretty sure I know what mistake I made, but what do you think?
How about you, "Nabuco" -- you want to take a shot at it?
