Spanish term

Masa madre

Spanish to English Art/Literary Cooking / Culinary Masa de pan
Buenas tardes (o días):

A ver si podéis ayudarme con este término. He aquí algo de contexto:

La masa madre es una mezcla de harina y agua en la que viven, en perfecta armonía, bacterias y levaduras con la que podrás hacer tu propio pan casero (hacer clic aquí para ver todas las recetas de panes) de forma natural y con ingredientes que controlarás al cien por cien, siendo esto, una ventaja respecto a los panes industriales, y consiguiendo una calidad en tu producto, difícil de igualar. Ambos microorganismos fermentan la harina poniendo a nuestra disposición nutrientes de fácil asimilación al encontrarse estos en un estado de predigestión.

Muchas gracias a todos por vuestra ayuda.

Saludos,
Natalia

Thanks, Susie. :-)
agree Karen Dinicola : I was divided on this one, but I decided to try googling another random bread (pumpernickel/pan integral de centeno) to see if "masa madre" applies, and it does.

mother dough

"Bakers often make loaves with fermented dough from a previous batch (which they call "mother dough", "chef", or "seed sour") rather than making a new starter every time they bake. The original starter culture may be many years old."

sourdough

Sourdough is a bread product made by a long fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeasts. (Wikipedia)
Peer comment(s):
agree Andrew Bramhall : Si, exacto; bread made with a leavening agent.

Gracias, Oliver!
disagree Susie Rawson : sourdough is one very specific type of dough, very popular in the West Coast of the US, but doesn´t necessarily translate as masa madre and doesn´t include other types of starter doughs. There is a very wide span of breads which are not the sourdough type

Well, its not my field, but Elizabeth's link (see below) seems quite conclusive.

Diría que aquí quieren decir 'starter', es el producto que se hace con levadura y algún líquido (normalmente mi madre usa leche creo). Aquí no se habla de un tipo de pan final (como 'sourdough' por ejemplo) creo.

Gracias Paul, lo iré viendo según el contexto. Un saludo.

Biga

biga bread
Peer comment(s):
neutral Taña Dalglish : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biga_(bread_baking) Biga is a type of pre-fermentation used in Italian baking! Bigas are usually dry and thick compared to a sourdough starter. Not the same.

starter mixture

Hola, mientras navegaba por la pagina de cocina BBC Food, encontre este término: "starter mixture".
en otras paginas, y dependiendo el uso de la masa (pizza, pan, etc) el termino cambiaba de la siguiente manera: "pizza dough starter", "sourdough starter", etc.
Ten cuidado porque "sourdough" se refiere a un tipo de pan cuya masa tiene caracteristicas particulares. Espero te sea de ayuda.
Example sentence:

To make this bread you need to use a ‘starter’ mixture that takes the place of yeast
