So it begins. The Will Falzon wine & cheese inclusion loaves.
The notable components.
- Keeping with Mr. Bouhsa's original formula. My homage begins with a simple four ingredient formula of high hydration.
- The prerequisite long cold bulk fermentation
- Step three is were we break with tradition. One TBS. Of none distatc malt syrup is added to the mix. ( Because, that's the way we roll at A.E.V.S.F.)
- All of the liquid is replaced by boiled, and flambéed red wine. (Cabernet Sauvignon)
The addition of Asiago cheese (20% of flour weight)
Aim:
To achieve a crisp light inclusion Bread.
One more 20 minute rest and fold. Then, into the cold. See all you'll tomorrow.
Product.
Sadly, I made a significant error at the very beginning. During the mix stage, I neglected to weigh the cooled wine. I was able to recover to this point. That being said, even if I achieve a good result, it will be due to luck. Either way, the results will be discarded and a re-bake is needed.
Alternatively, maybe I will varnish them and never cut them open? This way the bake will be a success, and a failure at the same time! I am very happy with this sadly, un-replicable outcome.
Side note: it smells amazing in here!
I was hoping for bigger air bubbles. That being said, it is not dence at all. I just ate half. The Flavor is mild, and pleasant. The texture is fluffy.
those 2 look fabulous! I swear I can smell the asiago.

I am already thinking to go with the flow and lower the formula hydration for the next bake. However, That is putting the wagon ahead of the horse 🐴. Let's wait for the crumb reveal.
Kind regards,

I froze one of the red wine and asiago baguettes. As good as fresh with tonight's dinner.
