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.

Schloss Strauweiler

Originally a castle, close to Altenberg Abbey, 21 km as the crow flies, but 30 km with the e-bike (and back again). Fairly cold. On any other day I could have saved about 5 km, but due to two Karrnevalszüch there were some detours.

A sprawling landscape features a lush green field in the foreground with a yellow turreted Manor House and trees nestled at the base of a forested hillside in the background.

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).
