The Case for Preferments | Preferments vs. Long Fermentation
Today, we’re going to make the case for preferments. As someone who uses pre-ferments quite frequently in my recipes, among the many positive comments I get, I sometimes receive some very repetitive comments telling me that preferments are essentially useless for home bakers or that there’s no need to do them. After going through enough of these comments, I decided to make this video.
Here, I’m going to make the argument for preferments, based on science of course. We’ll talk about why pre-ferments are different from a long straight dough fermentation. We’re also going to cover what kind of pre-ferments there are and how we can best use them. Watch the video for more!
