text to come soon, but here are some pictures of my sourdough from october 28th. They turned out well! I need a scoring lesson. any good recommendations on this site?
baguette
boule before cooking. I'm not really sure how to slash it...
and after
<picture> not uploading right now...
this is my old standby the 1,2,3 sourdough. I used 9 oz starter, 16 oz water (my starter is too wet) and 9 oz white, 9 oz bread and 9 oz whole wheat flour. and 1 Tbsp salt. I mixed for 2 minutes in my KA and then did 3 stretch and folds over 2 hours. It developed nicely. I fermented in the fridge for about 6-8 hours and then shaped using my brotform pans (that I haven't used in several years). One boule and one baguette. I couldn't get the chill off the dough so the rising time was a long time. more than 90 minutes. I have a real hard time telling if the bread has rose enough.
Scoring was ok; I think on the baguette I should have had only 3 slashes; but the top and bottom ears turned out really well with "gringe?" the boule did not rise as much. I think I need to try a tic-tac-toe scoring.
these are for a dinner party tomorrow. I 'll try to grab a crumb shot before they evaporate. They smell great!
