Celui-ci prélevé sur une panification en cours, on doit, plus ou moins rapidement, se livrer ensuite à une culture de ferments, de manière à en augmenter le nombre et la vigueur. On y parvient en confectionnant, à des intervalles variables [...] un ou plusieurs levains, d'où le nom de fermentation au levain de pâte [...]
