balance the fermentation process. You cannot ferment for too
short and also not for too long. The techniques you need to

to get this right. One of the challenges I~faced was that
I~had the wrong flour. I~didn't properly know how to use my oven.
When should I~stop the fermentation? There is a lot of information
out there. I~dug through most of it and have tried almost everything.
In many cases the information was wrong; in other cases, I~found another
valuable puzzle piece. Aggregating all this

My key learning was that there is no recipe that
you can blindly follow. You will always have to adapt the recipe
to your locally available tools and environment.

are good to go. If you are unsure about how this works, please check out the
