Sponge and dough

The sponge and dough method is a two-step bread making process: in the first step a sponge is made and allowed to ferment for a period of time, and in the second step the sponge is added to the final dough's ingredients,[1] creating the total formula.[2] In this usage, synonyms for sponge are yeast starter or yeast pre-ferment.[3][note 1] In French baking the sponge and dough method is known as levain-levure.[4] The method is reminiscent of the sourdough or levain methods; however, the sponge is made from all fresh ingredients prior to being used in the final dough.[5][note 2]
