They keep rolling

Leaving aside my forgetting for the second week in a row to put steam into the oven, the #BreadRolls keep getting better.

Hydration reduced to 65%, 28% old dough (sourdough), 2% salt, 1% dry yeast.

Fermented overnight in the fridge.

Oven heated to 250C + and held there for 30 minutes to heat through the pizza steel. Put rolls into the oven, directly above the steel, reduced temperature to 220C and baked for 30 minutes.

6 dough balls proofing on a rack, raising to the occasion

6 nice bread rolls, lightly floured

2 bread rolls, cut open, to reveal their holey crumb

I reduced the weight per roll to 80g, will go to 100g next time, too much crust for too little crumb.

Still the easiest way to get to sourdough. Make your preferred bread (or in this case bread roll dough) and hold some back.

Mine goes into the fridge in a jam jar. One week later your nose will confirm, sourdough.

I feed once and then incorporate into my dough. When I start shaping one undersized bread roll goes into the jam jar.

Old dough, from last weeks bake, in the jam jar it survived in the fridge in

I had tried a baking method where you start the loaf / baking tin in a cold oven. Good rise, but, in our oven, it got too hot too soon. Hence very dark and the crumb too moist. #sourdough #spelt
