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.

Lemon Sirup #Recipe

100% Lemon Juice (+ the zest of the lemons)
36% Water
60% Sugar

I used bakers percentages, so water and sugar are given as a percentage of the lemon juice.

Bring lemon juice and water to a boil, add the sugar, bring to a boil again, simmer for about 10 minutes.

Fill into clean bottles, turn them on the head once to also sterilise the tops.

Let cool, mix with (sparkling) water and enjoy

Bread rolls, 2025 version

Starter:

50 g old dough from fridge (held from last baking)
50 g flour (550er)
50 g water

Mix and let ferment for 6-8 hours at ideally between 24 and 26 C

Dough:

150 g starter
300 g flour (550er)
200 g water
8 g salt

Mix, 3-4 stretch&folds 30 min apart, leave in fridge over night. Reserve 50 g dough for the next bake. Divide dough into 6 portions, rest/ferment for 1 hour, tighten shape, cut. Put into oven heated to 250+ C, add steam (if possible) bake for 10 minutes, open oven to let steam escape, continue baking at 230 C for another 20 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

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
