spritzer Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 There can be other factors as this is sour dough. Too much activity in the starter leads to unstable dough and too much flavor. Sour dough is not supposed to taste sour at all... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 So working on bread, will bake later. But with the leftover levain I though about making some pitas. No real recipe. A small pile of levain, x amount of water and whole wheat flour, an egg, some oil and salt. Let rise for about 4 hours. Roll them out then cook them in a pan. They are everywhere!

mikeymad Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Day Two Bake (I need more sleep) Almost the Same - But Rye Loaf today Bread Loaf Size (g) = 600g Hydration (%) = 90% Total Water = 540g Leaven = 90g Salt = 17g Flours: White 360g Whole 150g Oat 90g Bake: covered 500 20 min covered 450 10 min uncover 20 min Levain was 9 hours - bulk rise 4.5 hours - proof another 6 hours. I still like the Oat a little better for my taste, but really good results - I think I may be getting the hang of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Early bake (6am) Trying out slight variations to see how the flour goes. Barley Loaf Bread Loaf Size (g) = 600g Hydration (%) = 90% Total Water = 540g Leaven = 90g Salt = 17g Flours: White 330g Whole 210g Barley 60g Bake: covered 500 20 min covered 450 10 min uncover 20 min Over all very nice. The Oat is still my best loaf... This Barley makes great toast though.. I am liking the results of the high hydration bread - really hard to work with (goopy).. but guess it is all about the outcome. They are not as pretty as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Mikey it's hard to tell from pics, it definitely looks dense, but is it a wetter or dryer consistency inside?Looks delicious for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 These are little more on the hearty side but not dense as in thick or sticky - adding the porridge give more hearty texture and not as much lift. It also makes it moist - but on the good side - slightly chewy and super crisp crust with the added protein. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
