Why Stable Temperature Matters More Than Ingredients in Fermentation
Posted by WongLeon on
When fermentation fails, ingredients are often blamedâbut instability is usually the real cause. Temperature fluctuations quietly disrupt fermentation, affecting texture, acidity, and consistency long before results are visible. This article explains why stable temperature matters more than complexity, and how controlled environments allow fermentation to complete naturally across yogurt, dough, and other fermented foods.
Fermented Dough Is About Waiting, Not Kneading

Fermented dough is often misunderstood as a matter of technique or strength, but traditionally it was shaped by time rather than force. Long before modern mixers, dough relied on fermentation to transform flour into something lighter, more elastic, and easier to digest. This article explores why waitingâsupported by stable temperature and gentle conditionsâhas always been the foundation of fermented dough across cultures.
Yogurt Is Not One Thing

Yogurt is not one thingâit is a range of fermented outcomes shaped by time, temperature, and microbial cultures. From plain and Greek yogurt to plant-based alternatives, fermentationânot brandingâdefines how yogurt tastes, feels, and functions as food. This article reframes yogurt as a fermentation system rather than a product category.
Fermentation Is Everywhere â Even When We Donât Notice It
Posted by WongLeon on
Fermentation is not a niche food trendâit is a system that has quietly shaped how humans eat, heal, and manufacture for centuries. From bread, yogurt, and wine to medicine, industrial processing, and waste treatment, fermentation relies on time, stability, and beneficial microorganisms to transform raw materials into something more digestible, flavorful, and functional. This article explores why fermentation is deeply embedded in everyday life, even when we no longer notice it.
