Bread - What are you baking today…..
-
I will be separating a dollop of starter out this evening (thus halving the cycle), and feeding it, then starting my a bread the next day. No locally available flour with more than 12% protein @ROman so that will have to do.
I’m probably going to let it proof overnight so it is ready to bake on Saturday morning. Easter in isolation ftw!
Looks great Reuben. Doing baguettes today I think.

Formed and proofing

Not the most beautiful of shapes but it tastes very good and was very easy. I forgot to
Score them so they ripped where they may.

You should talk your breads belong in a bakery window!

I recommend as big as a pizza stone that can fit in your oven. And parchment paper. And steam is key to baguettes. I preheated the oven with the pizza stone and a cast iron skillet inside. I had boiling water ready right when I put the dough in the oven and I poured that water in to the skillet and closed the door as quickly as possible. I added water one more time about ten minutes in

OK… thanks. Will try it at the weekend. Baguette seems to be the holy grail of bread baking...
It doesn’t seem that hard to me. I’ve made them in the past and they looked better but didn’t taste this good. I’m very happy with outcome. Yes make baguettes.

OK… mixed a Poolish right now... will rest for 22 hours

I feel like like someone here should try salt rising bread, since you've all got the ordinary yeast rising bread mastered.
Here's a recipe, if anytime is so inclined…

ha. “mastered”
Not me -
I have to say I am loving this. My starter had just been fed for the fourth day and seems to be improving daily.
The rise and fall pattern is predictable and the portion I broke off last night in order to have a ripe, young starter for today’s maiden voyage was bubbling, wet and fresh. Just mixed the ingredients for the bake, and letting it rest before the first fold.
If anyone is interested it is (now) a rye starter and I’m following this formula. I’ll let it proof overnight and bake it tomorrow morning.

Hey Reuben. Is that from the Bon apetit article?

The one linked in post #238.
I’m starting to get a little concerned. There is very little change in the dough since I mixed it. It retains its elasticity but is still pretty wet and doesn’t seem to rise between folds. I have about and hour left before I form it and leave it to proof overnight.
