What would happen if you let dough rise again and again and again.... |
|
The other night after years of trying to make the perfect, crispy pizza crust, I finally made one I liked.
I ended up letting the dough rise four times...so it made me curious....what would happen if you let dough rise over and over again? Would it make a difference or does something happen?

1. Seems like the yeast would be spent and then it might deflate. But I dont know |
|
I discovered my pizza dough recipe because I didn't want to wait for a second rise on a focaccia. :rofl: I'd never last through multiple rises.

there is nothing left for the yeast to consume and it wouldn't be good for anything but a flat bread (as we've all recently learning in our lessons from the Ain5 book.)

3. Eventually the yeast would deplete all the carbohydrate |
|
in the flour and you'd end up with a nasty, vinegary mess.
You could salvage it if it didn't smell particularly awful by adding more flour to it because it would then be a sourdough starter. You just run the risk of the yeast having excreted enough acid to kill itself off.
