Looks amazing, but that topology... If I am supposed to use a stand mixer at medium speed for ten minutes, how long do I need by hand approximately? Is it don't bother and get a stand mixer?

I suspect the recipe is confused, dough on medium for 10 mins is how you shorten your motor life. You mix for 4 on low, let it rest for 10 mins so the water can soak in then mix for another 4. You will know it’s right because after the second mix it’s like silk.

Dear Diary, Today I tried to make bubbly poolish from my sourdough starter and failed again, it smelled like a bar used to on the Sunday morning after a football match and was just goopy. I read somewhere on the internet that using rye flour will break down gluten so instead I used AP flour for the poolish but it was probably a bad idea. Well, we are having guests and the smell indicated taste so I put it in the bread and added a pinch of commercial yeast. Don't tell anyone, but if this works, I will do it more often! Right now the dough is in the kitchen doing a slow ferment, who knows how it looks tomorrow morning?!? Waking up at 7 to fold it so I can bake it at 9 in time for lunch!

Hi Bread Thread. I would like to keep some frozen dough/buns in the freezer so that I can pull them out and have large white hot dog buns ready to eat within, say, four hours. Any tips for freezing parbaked buns and/or shaped dough?

It turned out pretty great, we had guests and I love how people cannot stop eating these breads.  The one in the back was the sourdough, the one in front was the backup bread. As a result, I could give my guests some bread to take home which they eagerly accepted. Mission accomplished. And that pinch will go in more often, it allows me to get risen sourdough breads and I love that.

Followed through on my first crack at soft pretzels today. Before the oven:  After the oven:  The whole gang, showing my dumpy fat ones before I got better at rolling them out…  Next time I’ll probably try baking my baking soda first. fake edit: phone posting so apologies if they’re huge, I can’t remember how to force thumbnails in bb code.

Entropic posted:I'm looking for a good caraway rye bread recipe, does anyone have a go-to? reposting this because I've tried a couple recipes now with meh results. What am I doing wrong if my rye loafs never seem to rise very well? I've had pretty good success with artisan loaves, baguettes, and even milk bread, but I haven't found a good rye recipe that works for me. I just want like a caraway rye sandwich bread that isn't super-dense. Does anyone have a recipe they like, preferably with measurements in grams?

Yeah, w/ that much rye you're not going to get a lot of lift. It's a tradeoff, you gotta jiggle the percentages until you get a balance of density and rye flavour that you're happy with.

I've done 2:1 ap:rye and still don't get the rise I like. Just the nature of the beast. This is really more cake-like, but the recipe said lemon poppy bread, so it counts. The lemon glaze was pretty choice.

looks good! all those quick breads are just cakes, just like most muffins are unfrosted cupcakes.  Human Tornada posted:Hi Bread Thread.

Any tips for freezing parbaked buns and/or shaped dough? if you’re going to freeze parbaked buns you might as well just bake all the way because if you’re eating immediately i don’t think there’s gonna be a big quality difference. tho imo it’s just as easy to do a first rise, bag and freeze it, ideally pressing it out into a flat sheet. then thaw it by setting it in a pan of your hottest tap water and when it’s room temp, shape and proof like normal.

So, I think I may have killed my starter? Early last week, i took it out of the fridge to let it warm up and wake up and I noticed that it smelled super sour, but not like spoiled. I've spent the last 5 or so days dumping half our and replacing with 100g each of flour and water, but despite testing every day, the starter still doesn't pass the float test. This morning when I checked it before feeding, it had almost no sour smell at all to it, but didn't smell off in any way. It was also still pretty gooey, instead of going runny like starter does. The wife is certain I killed the starter by not dumping some before feeding last time I made bread, and at this point I'm starting to think so as well. Have I killed, and am now restarting, my starter?

Aside from heat they're hard to kill. How much are you keeping? I'm reading that you're using200g starter, 100g flour, 100 water for a feeding? I have much better luck with using a smaller seed of starter for feeding. Otherwise is your kitchen colder then normal? 60 vs 70 ambient temp can give me an entire extra day between feedings.

And yeah, our kitchen is cold right now. it's been cold and rainy the last few days and today's the first day it's supposed to get above 60 this past week. It does make sense that the colder temps would make it so I could wait longer and would explain why the starter had yet to go all runny like it normally does.

Yeah you should definitely be getting rid of more than half for feedings. (And by getting rid of I mean putting in a separate container for use in crackers and pancakes.) I have mine in a mason jar and generally I'll pour out almost all of it, except what naturally sticks to the bottom and the sides — if I had to guess it's probably only 20-40g. I scrape that down with a spoon and then add in the water and the flour.

to me that sounds like over-feeding, which is probably why the odor lessened - there are less of the byproducts of yeast activity/fermentation while they populate all the fresh flour you've been adding. i keep my starter in the fridge and feed it either "when i remember" or when i bake and that works great. if you're okay giving it 100g flour per day, why not try baking a loaf to see how it goes? i bet you its totally fine.

And obviously don't dump your discard, make pancakes or crumpets with it.

So I decided to make this https://www.theperfectloaf.com/spelt-rye-and-whole-wheat-sourdough-bread/ But then I realised I didn't have any spelt flour so dug in my cupboards and found some Emmer so I used that instead. I had to adjust the amount of flour a little as the emmer absorbs less water I feel. But still near 85% hydration.   It tastes great and got a decent rise to it but I have a problem. With these high hydration breads when I'm transferring it from the peel to the steel it kinda rolls slightly off the peel. You can see maybe that the bread is straight on one edge and bulbous on the other where to rolled slightly. How do I stop that happening?

fourwood posted:Does it rise? It'll have bubbles in it the next morning when I go to feed it again.

I'd be giving them away to the neighbors and annoying them with it. I'd like to find more recipes that use up more starter and don't have like a 36 hour timer to them. I just bake the occasional loaf or pizza crust with what I have now.

I think I'll try it your way and see how it goes. i just thought, depending on your schedules: - it's easy to thaw overnight in the fridge if you aren't in a hurry and freezing flat is less of a concern if this is your primary use case - if you use higher hydration doughs, it can stick to the bag if you leave it in long enough to get warm (doughs are usually easier to pull out of a container when cold); you might wish to spray a little cooking spray or similar in your bag before depositing the dough within if this is a concern

If you're just feeding the starter and not using it right away, you can get by with fairly small quantities of flour and water so you're not wasting anything.

yeah we’ve discussed this before but you can make a starter with just a couple tablespoons of flour and water. if you still don’t want to throw away excess just store it in a bag in the freezer and use it stuff calls for a poolish or whatever

Because it's Easter I made a regional speciality, Görzer Pinzen. These are traditionally only made once a year to celebrate the end of Lent. A rich sweet roll with plenty of butter and egg yolks, flavored with wine that has been soaked in anise. The dough balls are cut three times with scissors which may have to do with the trinity or just look cool, idk. Pinzen ready to bake:  Finished:
