Seed Culture, Phase 1 (Day 1)

Ingredients:
wheat flours, bread, unenriched
pineapple juice, canned or bottled, unsweetened, without added ascorbic acid

Directions:
In a small nonreactive bowl or 2-cup glass measuring cup, stir the flour and juice together with a spoon or whisk to make a paste or sponge with the consistency of thin pancake batter.
Make sure all of the flour is hydrated.
(Transfer the remaining juice into a clean jar and refrigerate it; or just go ahead and drink it.)
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for 48 hours.
Two to three times each day, stir the seed culture for about 10 seconds with a wet spoon or whisk to aerate it.
There will be few or no bubbles (indicating fermentation activity) during the first 24 hours, but bubbles may begin to appear within 48 hours.
