I'd like to give you my experience with
baking bread. I've been baking bread
for 20+ years.
Bread needs to develop flavor, using a starter
and going through the long steps all add to
the flavor of your bread. The yeast needs time
to grow and that adds flavor and texture to
your bread.
Right now I'm in the process of making bread
that takes 3 days. Now, I know that's a long time,
I sometimes just skip the last day step if I don't
have the time.
Try mixing up a starter the night before you
want to make your bread, your bread will have
better flavor and texture using a starter.
I always mix the starter the next morning with the
other ingredients, then after it's kneaded, let
it rest for at least 15 mins. knead again and
rise the full way. If you like I can post the
recipe for the crusty Italian bread using starter.
If you want to make bread the same day, I add salt
and honey to add flavor.
