Samples 1 & 2:
As you can see, the colours of the samples have become a darker colour, compared to that of the first stage of the experiment, with the exclusion of Sample 1, which was the control, and had no yeast in it. This colour change is due to the yeast, as the ratio of yeast to flour has changed, from the prvevious experiment, at which Sample 5's ratio had been 45:8, Stage 2's Sample 5 had a plain flour to yeast ratio of 45:19. But what is strange is that Sample 2 and 3's height increased the most during the fermentation period, coinciding with the first stage experiment. That is why I will be inserting graphs into my report, in hopes of marking a trend line, in which the dough's height increases at a certain point, and then grasdually decreases, like in my experiment.

However, I did finish my experiment, with results and everything ^_^ I even have videos of an unexpected outcome >_0
So, in the end, what went down was that I pretty much made bread, in the simplest way. There were a few complications, such as the cling wrap melting onto the baking try (my mom was going to murder me for that), and the glugginess of some of the mixtures. However, after I increased the amount of yeast to 4 teaspoons (about 19 grams!) It went puffy even before I had put the dough into the oven! And this got me thinking; I had been focusing on how yeast affects bread after it enters the oven - I had never thought of the effects that would incur before...
Also, the results were rather interesting....which I will show you in my table at my next post with pictures ^_^
So I'm going to have to do more research into it...and this will come into my report ^____^
Wish me luck everyone!
So, in order to find the climate graph, you might need to go back 1 or 2 pages...cos I did it early on.
Sorry for the inconvenience Ms Zhang T-T
