Biga

[EGGARY]

I have read about using Biga when making Italian Breads like Ciabatta.  Has anyone here used Biga as bread starter ?

Not only have I not used it before, I've never even heard of it before?

Seems like a Sourdough starter that hasn't turned sour yet.

The longer it sits, it gets the sourdough taste.

I have been making sour dough bread for years using the same starter.

I use to have a started of fruit that I made bread out of. The fruit ferments for weeks.. I think I made three batches.. By that time I was sick of it. Lol
