Pliny\'s grape juice bread experiment

[Epictetus]

Day 5, and it is looking good. I'm getting bubbles, so something is happening. Pliny goes into great detail about the grain used and how it is prepared, but for lack of a better alternative I'm just using whole grain wheat flour.

Also, from painfully smelly experience I have discovered that if you just soak flour for days it can go bad. So I'm acting as if this was a starter, and adding a little bit of flour to feed it each day. By day 9 the base should be large enough for the bread.
