Walking in Domburg

Domburg is continuing developing upmarket while retaining its charm and character.

The forecasted rain has not yet arrived

Walcheren achieved

After some adventures, we have finally achieved Walcheren.

We had a welcome drink in the Sun, then we went to the beach and had dinner in one of the Strand Pavillons.

New camera

For a while I lusted after a new camera, and now I have one. Just in time for my life as a hedonistic pensioner.

Am still getting used to the camera. But, so far I like it.

Here are some photos

Three rolls and a small baguette

I fed my old dough (3 weeks in the fridge) twice and added a couple of grams of dried lievito madre.

After a couple of hours on the counter the dough spent the night in the fridge.

Quite happy, but my lame needs a new edge

Baguette Game

This is about the best I’ve made so far.

Two freshly baked baguettes are cooling on a wire rack, each with a dusting of flour and distinct diagonal slashes on the crust.

Shaping up

Quite happy with the shape and cuts. The dough is the usual old dough starter that spent the night in the fridge.

Three elongated pieces of dough are placed on a dark surface, dusted with flour.

This is in essence a simplified baguette dough. The starter made from old dough and slightly fortified with freeze dried Lievito Madre. Hydration 64%. The dough twisted before forming the ring.

Well formed bread rolls do not come from high hydration dough, oh yeah

After an epic miscalculation I produced a 80% hydration dough. Target was between 65 and 70, so, yeah.

Under these circumstances I’m quite ok with my forming and amazed that any rise happened.

Six freshly baked rolls, slightly flat, are cooling on a wire rack.

Usual dough in a tin, hydration was more than I could cope with, my beautiful cuts got ignored, instead a burst on the side.

Tasty though
