Pullman loaf

Well I won’t do it again. It stuck a bit in the pan, I believe that’s due to the lack of moisture as I used the same amount of butter as always. I also like the really square shape with the top in place and the texture and color of the top crust with the lid. 

The crumb might be a tiny bit more open but not enough to make a difference. 

I used the same exact ingredients as the most recent bake before this but I decreased the Arrowhead Mills bread flour to 100g and increased the Spelt to 200g. 

Technique was identical and added a bit more water early to facilitate the beating development of gluten. 

I did more pics to show the process.



1) beating texture

2) first set bowl folds

3) second set bowl folds - very smooth & developed

4) first wet lamination started

5) continuing 

6) roll up wonderfully gluten extensible 

7) second lamination to size of pan 

8) in pan

9) into fermenter 4°

Finished loaf and crumb shots. ( note tiny break at side of slices where loaf stuck
