Re: sponge

Misc.

Hi L..D.
The sponge your aunt must have used is a sponge made of yeast, flour and warm water. When making bread this is allowed to stand overnight and a "sponge" developes. This spong is then used as a leavening to make bread. I use a sponge and allow a three day rise, adding to the sponge more flour and water. By making a sponge more flavor developes due to wild yeasts entering over time.
Good Luck
Mitch
