Another baguette

Nice rise, nice slashing, nice colour, VERY uneven shaping. As the old dough was parked in the fridge for a fortnight, I’m overall quite happy.

A freshly baked loaf of baguette sits on a cooling rack, showcasing a golden-brown crust with distinct slashes on top.

Arithmetic is difficult

I managed, with a simple mistake, to take the hydration of this sourdough focaccia to 90%. So, no dimples. Quite tasty though.

A rectangular focaccia with olives is resting on a cooling rack.

Schloss Strauweiler

Originally a castle, close to Altenberg Abbey, 21 km as the crow flies, but 30 km with the e-bike (and back again). Fairly cold. On any other day I could have saved about 5 km, but due to two Karrnevalszüch there were some detours.

A sprawling landscape features a lush green field in the foreground with a yellow turreted Manor House and trees nestled at the base of a forested hillside in the background.

Not quite as dark as planned

Success, nicely risen sourdough baguette. I’ve moved from 1050er (dark) to 550er a more sifted flour.

A bit flat

The starter looked active/fine. The dough too. The oven spring was tired (maybe the dough had a party in the fridge).

Due to reasons

Today a loaf instead of rolls

After a few weeks of rest in the fridge our sourdough still worked well

After 8 hours at 28 C the starter had almost doubled. The dough proved over night in the fridge. My cuts were too shallow though, the rolls burst also at other points.
