Re.What od I do with this?
Charles, thank you...thank you...thank you!
In pioneer days hydration meant a dipper of creek water and flour dumped into the starter till it could be mixed into a batter for pancakes, or a hunk of dough for bread. It's leavening! That's all! It's leavening, used because they didn't have commercial yeast in pioneer days. The old-time sourdoughs didn't know hydration from lowdration. Nor did they have to. Great post!
