Romanian language (monolingual) [PRO]
Cooking / Culinary / Baking bread
Romanian term or phrase: maia
Problema este cum se conjuga termenul maia - Propozitia ar trebui sa sune de genul Pregatirea maialei/maielei/maielii? As putea folosi termenul mai vechi, plamadeala, deci pregatirea plamadelii, dar cum acum toata lumea cauta paine cu maia, clientul prefera acest termen.

“Natural Leaven or Commercial Baker's Yeast?
There are two methods for leavening bread and they differ totally in the way they act on the flour, as well as on the taste and nutritional effect of the resulting bread and, in the end, on the health of the consumer. The aim of bread fermentation is to transform the various nutrients freed by the milling of the grain and to modify them for optimum assimilation during digestion.
A Definition of Natural Leaven
Wild yeast, or multi-micro flora are the natural air-borne ferments that are generated or seeded in a dough left exposed to a clean and cool atmosphere under specific conditions of moisture and temperature and the exclusion of larger specimen. Within that fertile medium, lactic bacteria of the various beneficial types are found: B. Pastorianum, B. Delbrucki, B.Ternoas well as saccharomyces such as S.Pastorianus, and S. Cervisiae. This type of microflora consumes little energy and multiplies quite slowly. Its growth duplicates the cycle of human breathing and that of wheat embryo germination. Wild yeast also naturally enriches the bread, due to an additional development of nutrients by the beneficial enzymes and ferments.”

sourdough (starter)


Explanation:
Dacă știți sigur că asta este ceea ce "caută toată lumea" - maia pe bază de făină, nu maia de drojdie. Nu e suficient context ca să înțelegem dacă e vorba de pregătirea culturii inițiale de fermentație (sourdough starter) sau a aluatului propriu-zis (sourdough).

De fapt, nu e clar în ce limbă doriți termenul, din moment ce aveți dubii despre declinarea substantivului în română (la care vă ajută DOOM sau dexonline.ro) și propuneți un sinonim.
