A small loaf

The usual dough in a small Japanese glass tin. Went well. One thing remains, I’d like the crumb a bit dryer.

Wurzenbrot / Baguette

My old dough survived well in the fridge and got quite active after a refresh and a few hours in the sun.

This time a Wurzenbrot (twisted baguette).

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.

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

Une baguette un peu blonde

Also the shaping. But, quite chuffed, the old dough (the starter) spent 3 weeks in the fridge because of reasons.

The rise is good, we won’t talk about the cutting.
