COMMENTS

  • A couple of hours during bulk fermentation i noticed my dough rising too fast.  I rechecked my calculations and realized I added 10 x more yeast than required. I needed 0.4 g and not 4 grams. I was about to discard the bake but decided to see it through.  To retard my yeast I stored dough in the refrigerator. I watched it rise to the desired level. About 7 hours
  • The bake came out excellent.  The crust was perfectly crunchy.
  • Also, Im happy I was able to reach my desired dough temp
  • Next time i will bake it a little longer to get a darker crust. Of course most importantly use the correct amount of ingredients

 

 

Somewhere you said you're an engineer.  The extreme detail-oriented documentation here, charts, photos, video, etc., proves it.  

You are well on your way to being a master bread craftsman.

Welcome to the club.

Bread is a genre where the engineer and the artist merge.  It is science and art.
