There are actually thousands of microbes in the gut, so before we can apply the most up to date findings to the way we make our bread, we must first understand more about them.

STRETCH AND FOLD
With sourdough, the gluten doesn’t need developing by kneading. Trust me, you will get a better rise and lighter loaf by using the long, slow fermentation to align the gluten molecules instead of kneading. Just leaving the dough to ferment, with a few simple stretches and folds to help, will result in a gluten structure that gives the bread the complex network of sticky strands that capture the CO2 as the yeasts get to work consuming the sugars in the flour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gentler is better. Do more early on. In fact, less is sometimes better, depending on the flour...

#repost Beautiful post from @cecileglorieux 🇨🇵 Comme tout le monde, j'ai commencé l'an dernier à faire du pain. C'est un peu faux d'ailleurs, car j'en ai toujours fait, ça et là avec de la levure.  En habitant en France, pas besoin de faire du pain. Et puis, il y a 2 ans et demi, quand nous sommes venus vivre au Royaume-Uni, j'ai ressenti le manque, ce morceau de pain qui fait parti de mon identité, de ma France. J'ai commencé à faire mon levain. puis plusieurs. Je lis, je teste, je m'amuse beaucoup, je rate, je réussi, et surtout, chaque jour, j'y prends un peu plus goût (et là 2, petits pains miso sésame noirqui se feront dorer la pilule demain matin // 🇬🇧 I was about to say that I started baking bread last year but it is not entirely true. I always have, here and there, made some. To be honest, when you live in France, I hardly see the point. Moving to the UK, I felt the urge to connect with that part of my French identity.  Bread is important for us. I started making my sourdough like many others. I had 1 starter, then 2 then several. I test, I read, I fail, I succeed, I learn... but most of all, I enjoy myself a bit more each day (these 2 babes are sourdough with miso and black sesame seeds, largely inspired by @vanessakimbell 's recipe which was brought to my attention by the excellent @vilainlevain ).
