Hi Sarah, bread came out pretty good, nice crumb, not gummy. However, the crust is quite hard. If fact, it's difficult to cut. I'm using a Dutch oven, covered at 500 F for 20 minutes and uncovered at 450 F for 25 minutes. I have a baking sheet on the bottom rack. Used 500g 14% bread flour, 350g water, 100g 1:2:2 starter and followed recipe - I did 6 stretch and folds over 2.5 hours followed by 5 hour bulk. I proofed in fridge overnight. Any thoughts on how I can get a softer crust? As I said, the bread itself was good - not very sour however as I had hoped with overnight proof. Thanks!

@SarahLouReviews

Ай бұрын

Hi Michael! You can add olive oil and/or use 360g of water. The more water (if your flour can handle it), the thinner the crust. If you add 30 grams of olive oil with the water it will soften the crust too. Alternatively, you can put it in a bag for an hour after it has cooled and the crust will soften. ☺️ To get more sour, bulk for 1-2 hours less and put in fridge for 12-18 hours.

working on it now! :)

Flip your pot upside down and bake it in the lid, and use the pot as the top lid. It will act more like a cloche and make it much easier to drop the loaf in.

Yes I don’t like doing that because the bottom is super heavy and hard to lift up and over the bread ☺️👍🏻

What's your room temperature?

I do not like to cook (especially at high temperatures) on silicone coated paper. How else would you recommend getting the dough into the Dutch oven without the use of the paper?

Well, I’m guessing you won’t want a silicone mat either then ☺️ Ok if you have the type of Dutch oven that has a handle on top of the lid, you can always sprinkle corn meal in the bottom and carefully lower it in with your hands. But I don’t recommend that. You could always spring corn meal on a piece of foil and lower it in too. Make sure there is a lot of corn meal on the foil or it will stick.

@@SarahLouReviews Thank you for Thank you for answering my question. I am not bothered it I use a Dutch oven or not but I wonder how the task of getting the dough onto the oven was achieved before aluminium foil or silicone paper were available. My reason for not wanting to use silicone is, at high temperature in particular the chemicals will leach onto my bread. Aluminium is not the best thing to use against food at high temperatures either. Cast iron is good and so is high grade stainless steel but I will not cook anything on ceramic, enamel or Teflon tec.

I’m trying to find a written recipe .

So no coil fold?

No. It’s only 73% hydration. Stretch and fold only with this recipe

you've got a double dutch oven. Why aren't you taking advantage and using it upside down?

Fair question ☺️ I usually take the lid off while it is in the oven and doing that the other way makes it awkward to lift over the bread. So now I’m just used to it

Same. The larger piece is a bit of a pain to take off after the first bake at high temp. A bit easier to just pull the lid. 🙌

Would anyone have a clue why my sd dough is the consistency of Elmer’s glue?

Hi! I’ll try to help. Hard to know. What flour are you using? Also, Elmers glue is pretty runny…are you following this particular recipe or are you measuring with cups?
