Oh Focaccia

Slightly dark focaccia, dimpled, with flaky salt sitting on a cooling rack

Oh, the shame

The rise is fairly /unspectacular/.

What did I do differently:

  • took the starter (old dough) out of the fridge a day early
  • pre-heated the oven and hour longer

Mhm.

6 bread rolls, relatively smooth on top as the rise was not pronounced, otherwise ok

Back to basics

6 crusty bread rolls with „erupted“ tops, dusted with flour on top, a dark reddish brown towards the bottom, cooling on the rack.

Went back to my basic recipe. Still got it ;-)

Larger rolls, softer crumb

I added olive oil to my dough to get a softer crumb. Also I tried to go for longer rolls (normal in .de) but did not give the rolls enough support while proofing.

I should have cut them, they did not rip open as my normal rolls.

formed dough on the baker’s linen, forgot to give them support with folds

4 rolls in the oven, more a panini form, less bread roll

4 rolls on the cooling rack. Intentionally less browning, more panini then roll

Taste and texture are good though. Not what I wanted, but tasty.

Rolls again, doesn’t it get boring?

In a word, no. The pictures show more consistency than is really there.

Back to cold fermenting, otherwise recipe unchanged, 4 instead of 6 rolls.

A little dark maybe.

Todays dinner

Small potatoes, scallions, carrots, red beets (pre cooked), lemon, chicken wings. Salt, pepper, and chicken spice mixture. Olive oil.

Timer set for an hour @ 180C to be ready tonight.

Roasting tin with vegies and chicken legs in the oven, waiting to be cooked

Crusty Rolls, one again

I’ve “struggled” with consistency. While results always tasted good, they always were good bread, they also always were different.

Sometimes the crumb, sometimes the crust, sometimes the rise, the taste, …

But now I’m getting there

Renewed

Successfully restarted the sourdough starter with last weeks old dough.

The bread looks “normal”, which is a good thing.

two batards of Wuzenbrot, freshly baked the close up shows thee root like structure, which gives Wurzenbrot its name
