Larger rolls, softer crumb

I added olive oil to my dough to get a softer crumb. Also I tried to go for longer rolls (normal in .de) but did not give the rolls enough support while proofing.

I should have cut them, they did not rip open as my normal rolls.

formed dough on the baker’s linen, forgot to give them support with folds

4 rolls in the oven, more a panini form, less bread roll

4 rolls on the cooling rack. Intentionally less browning, more panini then roll

Taste and texture are good though. Not what I wanted, but tasty.

Rolls again, doesn’t it get boring?

In a word, no. The pictures show more consistency than is really there.

Back to cold fermenting, otherwise recipe unchanged, 4 instead of 6 rolls.

A little dark maybe.

Sunday Rolls

Regular recipe, added some olive oil for a softer crumb. Doesn’t seem to have done much. Maybe with larger rolls?

I tried #WhisperMemo this week and compared it with #IOS dictation via #DraftsApp on a 14 Pro Max running 17.4. All the dictation was done in German and in my work environment, with a mixture of office, outside with and without wind and inside the factory.

The text was then sent to my daily note in Obsidian.

Whisper Memo: mostly works fine, the louder the environment, the more “approximate” the text. Which would be fine, but there is a marked delay between dictating and seeing the result, as Whisper Memo sends the text to a server somewhere.

The delay means, in a noisy environment, you can’t be confident that the text will be usable when you get it back eventually.

Drafts App: works fine, when it does not, you see it immediately. No ambiguity.

Both systems use comma rules different from what I would.

Overall, in German, I see no advantage over IOS from Whisper Memo.

Did bread this week

No change to the dough. Looks good. Waiting for a test.

Sourdough bread, fairly dark, sprenkled with flour, nice cuts.

Crusty Rolls, one again

I’ve “struggled” with consistency. While results always tasted good, they always were good bread, they also always were different.

Sometimes the crumb, sometimes the crust, sometimes the rise, the taste, …

But now I’m getting there

6 crusty bread rolls, dusted with flour, sitting on a cooling rack

Renewed

Successfully restarted the sourdough starter with last weeks old dough.

The bread looks “normal”, which is a good thing.

two batards of Wuzenbrot, freshly baked the close up shows thee root like structure, which gives Wurzenbrot its name
