YEAST WATER Bread Recipe. Focaccia with (pear) Yeast Water | by JoyRideCoffee

Yeast Water Bread Recipe. A pear. It can be the source of a new form of life that leavens bread. I am not an expert in fermented waters but nature always knows better what to do.

The complicated times we are going through (during the pandemic) makes us reflect more on life and its joys. And bread is a simple joy.

Lucky, but also with a lot of effort, we managed to enjoy a few weeks in wonderful Greece, to return with tasty ingredients (so good for a focaccia) and with reloaded hearts.

I made the fermented water simply by pouring water over the pieces of pear and leaving it for 3 days at room temperature. From time to time I shook the jar, twice a day.

I don't believe much in "recipes" so for focaccia I did not follow a specific recipe but I only aimed to briefly develop gluten in the initial phase (autolyse would have helped but I didn't have time to do it) and then to follow the fermentation. You can find the quantities and the method in the video.

Obviously you can use sourdough starter instead of fermented water. The differences in taste and texture are subtle but I would say they are in favor of fermented waters. The crunv is more delicate, and lacks acidity. But here is a large territory to study absolutely subjectively.

The secondary images were filmed in the fascinating Greek islands of Naxos, Paros, Skopelos and Alonnisos.
