2 flutes 5 rolls

2 flutes and 5 rolls on a cooling rack. Quite dark, with a dusting of flour. Cuts and rips.

Looking a bit too rustic, I need to work on gluten development and shaping.

Quite happy

Dough made with a bit of last week’s dough as the starter.

Frozen sourdough

Before we went on vacation I froze my starter. This is now the first bake with the thawed starter.

It got refreshed 4 times and as the picture shows, quite a good rise.

The picture also shows that my shaping has room for improvement.

3 blond baguette, one slightly square

St Briktius

On todays Open Monuments Day we cycled to St Briktius, Oekhoven, weich wie had passed, but discounted as a typical, for the Rhineland, neo-romanic village church. It’s the real thing though.

The church, on a slight hill, surrounded by the ol churchyard, bell tower on the right, light sandstone, somewhat dramatic sky the inside, view to the altar, rich murals

The wall paintings are a 19th century recreation, the faded originals were found, when the church was renovated. The murals were covered by white paint during the annexation of the Rhineland by revolutionary France.

Neat

Yesterday my starter (50g dough from the previous bake) was a tad sluggish after its feed/fermentation, so I added 2g of dried yeast. Success.

4 small baguette with nice ears, waiting for breakfast

Thin progress

Clearly much more equal than the last effort. But, maybe, a bit too long (and too thin). Proof will be in the eating.

three fairly thin sourdough baguette

Pour changer

Fresh brioche

Fresh brioche on the rack, maybe a bit blonde

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
