Mini baguette

Shaping and cutting (still) need work

Another loaf

Have been experimenting with some Italian dried madre in addition to my usual starter made from old dough. The combo of 1% dried madre on top of my starter over fermented the dough on the counter (overnight). So, next time we’ll do it in the fridge.

Another baguette

Nice rise, nice slashing, nice colour, VERY uneven shaping. As the old dough was parked in the fridge for a fortnight, I’m overall quite happy.

Arithmetic is difficult

I managed, with a simple mistake, to take the hydration of this sourdough focaccia to 90%. So, no dimples. Quite tasty though.

Not quite as dark as planned

Success, nicely risen sourdough baguette. I’ve moved from 1050er (dark) to 550er a more sifted flour.

A bit flat

The starter looked active/fine. The dough too. The oven spring was tired (maybe the dough had a party in the fridge).

Sourdough bread

50 g old yeast
100 g warm water
100 g flour

Mix and let it do its thing for 8 hours at 28 C

Starter
350 g flour
250 g water
9 g sea salt

Mix, 2-3 stretch & folds over 90 minutes, leave in fridge overnight.

Stretch out the cold dough, don’t worry, it will not have risen very much. Letter fold, form a boule. Don’t forget to steal 50 g to go into the fridge for next time.

Let it rest on and under floured linnen for at least an hour, place your cuts.

Oven, with pizza steel, pre-heated to 250 C, also a steel bowl.

Drop the boule onto the pizza steel. Put some hot water into the steam bowl to provide steam.

Bake for 10 minutes. Open the oven door to let the steam out, change temp to 230 C and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes until the bread reaches > 98 C in the centre and you like the crust colour.

Switch off the oven, crack open the door and leave the bread for another 5 minutes in the cooling oven.

Let the bread cool on a rack, cut yourself a slice, butter or not, enjoy.
