I make bread with a sponge often and find it's fine to leave it overnight so you're ready to make it in the morning = fresh warm bread for lunch. The longer resting gives a lovely sour dough like texture. But yours looks great anyway!Sally - My Custard Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426408003723480160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471863725292694703.post-39605717840543140642010-07-28T15:22:41.324+01:002010-07-28T15:22:41.324+01:00Merlotti, fantastic!

I feel pretty confident now that it could be left for any amount of time from 30 minutes to the full eight hours and the only difference might be in the sourdough-ish taste of the finished loaf. <br /><br />I think you are right about using a loaf tin--then it's not so flat. Thanks for taking part!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435647248027246458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471863725292694703.post-54904870261327225562010-07-28T12:18:46.364+01:002010-07-28T12:18:46.364+01:00We too waited for the sponge starter only for an h...We too waited for the sponge starter only for an hour, but it's so hot here that it would have died if left for longer.Silviahttp://mushitza.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
