Creating a healthy sourdough starter involves feeding it with flour and water until it's ready to use in baking, which contributes to the delicious taste and texture of the bread.
Monitoring the rise of sourdough starter is crucial to ensure there are enough active yeast cells to create CO2 bubbles, which make the bread light and fluffy.
Using computer vision with Python, ffmpeg, and algorithms like rolling averages and derivatives can help automate the process of determining when sourdough is ready for baking.
