Preparatory work sourdough bread practical laboratory practice

Preliminary preparation work for week of: 03/25/2024 sourdough bread.

Tonight I will build the dough for what will be my two loaves. Unfed overnight room temperature fermented country bread. 

The mixed high hydration dough is looking good. After three sets of stretches, she will sit out untouched at room temperature until about 5 AM

 

Tomorrow, I will begin the three day process for Princess Rosilie's, and Dean's one loaf each.

Phase 1 day one - build the strong ripe levian.

Phase 2 day two - build the dough, bulk fermentation, and overnight cold proof.

Phase 3 day three - the bake. 

 

Please disregard the getuitus photo of my excellent BBQ for tonight's dinner.
