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

<Thorn-Roermond-Thorn 🚴‍♂️ 40 km>

Strange day, weather great, but I have a cold, so the plan was to find a pharmacy in Roermond and not cycle too much. Didn’t quite work out ;-)

<Eijsden-Maastricht- Eben-Emael -Eijsden 🚴‍♂️ 25 km>

For some unknown reason today’s tour turned out 10 km short. No matter, very nice tour, good coffee in Maastricht, steep bit at Eben-Emael, quite a few bridges and a ferry, two different provinces of Limburg, one of which even threw a language change at us.

As I forgot to pack the camera, you have to believe me, it was beautiful.

Yesterday

<Thorn-Swartbroek-Thorn 🚴‍♂️ 35 km>

Very nice rural tour, nice cafes on the route, almost no traffic, and back well before the thunderstorms

A serene natural landscape features a small river winding through lush green vegetation and trees under a cloudy sky.

Dramatic dark clouds fill the sky, partially illuminated by soft, diffused sunlight
