Need to up the shaping game

Made baguette from this starter

First fermented on the counter (slightly too long due to a cycle trip), than over night in the fridge.

The baguette started out the same weight, shaping is ok, but inconsistent. More work to do.

three fairly crusty baguette on a cooling rack, good rise, VERY different sizes, though they started the same weight

Starter doing it’s thing

I use our joghurt maker to ferment the starter (50 g each: old dough, flour, water) at 24 C for 8 h. Works a treat.

through the clear lid of the joghurt maker we see the starter in its plastic container

Quite happy

2 rolls and a baguette, nicely risen. The cut on one roll was too shallow, the others are nicely dramatic.

a baguette with dramatic ears lies diagonally on a cooling rack, a bread roll on either side.

Yesterdays rolls

4 traditional German rolls sitting on the cooling rack

Got tired of round rolls, so made these instead

Much better

Last weeks rolls made me wonder, but my dough still got it. Yeah.

Should have reduced the temperature a bit earlier, so the ears are slightly dark.

4 freshly baked crusty rolls with nice ears, slightly to dark

2 more twisted baguette

Look very good, but I put one too close to the ovens ventilator. It got fairly dark at the tips, just this side of burnt.

Again additional cracks. But very happy with the result.

Dinner sorted.

2 twisted baguette

They’ve developed additional cracks, apparently I did not twist tightly enough.

Two twisted, golden brown baguette that have cracked unevenly, on a cooling rack waiting for lunch

Mixed haul

My usual dough with an old dough starter. This time three bread rolls and one Wurzenbrot (twisted baguette)

Three round, golden brown, crusty bread rolls and one golden brown twisted baguette, all dusted with flour, all baked until fairly dark, resting on the cooling rack.
