The lye water Eric had was clear, and kneading it into the dough could effectively eliminate the sour taste.
He planned to make some more next year, because once the food production increased, the tribe's cafeteria would also have to start making flour-based dishes. He couldn't bear to let his tribesmen eat steamed buns that tasted sour.
Boa nodded as if she understood, although it had been a long time since she last dealt with food made from fermented dough. But she still remembered that dough without sugar did indeed taste sour, and dough proofed with grape wine yeast was even sourer.
The Ox-Head tribe wasn't afraid of hard food, so in Boa's heart, that sour bread wasn't even as good as black bread. Of course, the plain steamed buns Brother Tu brought back last night were much better, not sour at all, only having the fragrance of wheat.
Hearing Eric say that food made from this grayish-white powder wouldn't be sour, Boa was extremely surprised.
