Did my levain breakdown my gluten?
Hey everyone. I just ran into something that I've never encountered. I was mixing a sourdough loaf today and I let it autolyse for 2 hours, and then added my starter and salt in two stages. However after mixing via the rubaud method, I noticed my bread not developing any strength. In fact it was weaker than it was before the autolyse! I wish I had taken pictures but I'm sure
