Lactic acid from fermentation imparts a bitter taste and improves keeping qualities. • The preparation of sourdough will get started with a pre-ferment (the "starter"), a fermented mix of flour and water to drink, containing a nest of organisms including wild candida and lactobacilli. The purpose of the beginner is to make a vigorous leaven and develop the taste of the breads. The starter must become fed 4 to 12 hours before being added to dough, by merging flour and water to the starter.
