Great recipe! Have done this many times now and turns out well every time. I also like the size - perfect for my family. Thank you Philip, keep them coming! Great clear instructions, good quality videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This method turned out beautifully!! This was my first time baking in a loaf pan, and I’m going to keep doing it because the slices are perfect for sandwiches, as opposed to the slices from a typical loaf from a banneton. Also, the crumb turned out super light and fluffy, and the crust was not too chewy! Thank you for doing all the research and teaching us the foolproof techniques!!

It’s not all about the feel. Only about 98%. Observing time, temperature and feel for every attempt will ,eventually, get you the experience to get you out of trouble. You’ve been extremely helpful. It got really hot here and my starter needed to be fed or used. Things went really fast. So fast that I started my levan at 10:00A.M. and baked two loaves at 10:00 P.M. Man was it ever sticky ! Had I not been watching you regularly (and Jack) I would have given up. But, I read that dough and the conditions, gave it as many folds as necessary and ended up with two fine loaves. It’s good of you to share your journey, allowing us to tag along. You’re the guy that taught me to make my first good loaf. You can tell St. Peter I sent you. 👍

I've just made my 2nd loaf from your basic recipe using the calculator. The first one was at 70% hydration and in a loaf pan I already had and it was ok, but I did order the pan you suggest. The 2nd one, just this morning was at 65% hydration as the first one was a bit sticky throughout the process. This dough was lovely at 65%. So this is an 800g loaf. Can I just use the lid for the pullman pan with that amount of dough? my bread did dome above the pan a bit and was sloped to the ends. I'm sure I will try the lid next time but just wanted to see your input. I did look at sourdough recipes for the pullman loaf but they added milk and butter and I want to use your basic recipe as is. Thanks for your videos, they are my favorite of all I have watched.

This is another great video for slightly frustrated home bakers. The flour with 13% protein sounds like pizza flour. Can I use this for baking with sourdough?

@CulinaryExploration

Жыл бұрын

The flour I use is actually labelled as all purpose flour but it’s got a relatively high protein content so it works well for sourdough. The best way to find out how a flour will perform is to test it. Bake with it, not just once, several times. Each time you bake try to tweak the hydration to suit the flour. Hope this helps

Will this recipe only work in the taller loaf pans (4"/10.2cm) or would it work in a 9x5x2.75" pan? Would you need to adjust the dough weight up to 900 or 950, and would the 2.75" height offer enough support? Thanks - looking forward to trying your sourdough reboot method

@CulinaryExploration

Жыл бұрын

The recipe will work for different-shaped tins. If the size of the tin is different you may need to alter the dough weight (the calculator works great for this), a larger tin will be ok but if you use a smaller tin the dough may expand a little too much! Let me know how you go with the reboot too!

I always make my sourdough in a 14" loaf pan, makes a perfect loaf of sandwich bread.

Just purchased this bread tin, and it looks very good quality! I only have one question about the recipe - in my country, I cannot find flour with a protein content superior to 12.0. If it's white flour, the strongest I have found was 11.1. I would like to use your calculator and adjust the water and flour content for this recipe, but I do not know where I can enter the protein content of the flour I'm using. Thanks in advance!

@CulinaryExploration

Жыл бұрын

Hey there. Each type of flour will absorb different amounts of water comfortably. I’d suggest starting with 65-70% hydration and assessing the results. You can make adjustments from there. The calculator doesn’t calculate the hydration based on protein content, it wouldn’t work. That’s the job of the baker 👍

That's great news, I'm pleased you enjoyed the recipe. You can use this formula and bake a boule (round loaf) or a batard (oval-shaped loaf). I'd suggest using a proofing basket (or dusting a kitchen cloth with flour to line a large bowl) to proof the dough. You are swapping out the tin for a basket, which will support the dough during its final proof. Then you'd turn it out into the Dutch oven before baking. Most of my other videos use this method. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on!

Hey there, this recipe will definitely work for multiple loaves. You can use my calculator to easily scale the recipe up and down and make tweaks if needed (you can get it from www.culinaryexploration.eu/sourdough-calculator-signup). You can use lava rocks + water to create steam but you may not need to. Test it first. If you don't need to add the tray of lava rocks you'll have more space to bake additional loaves increasing your profit margin.

Two things - (1) I think there is a typo in the recipe as it calls for a final temperature of 105F when I think you mean 205F. (2) How would you adjust this recipe for the larger 13x4x4 ChefMade Pullman pan? - double? +70%? +80%?

Cheese Bob, I corrected the typo. With regards to increasing the recipe, I would work out the difference between the volume of the two tins (in percentage) and then increase the recipe ingredients by the same percentage.

I want to weigh in (pun intended) . . . A few grams difference between the recipe in his videos and your measurement at home will not make any difference whatsoever unless you're using the exact same flour he uses, milled on the same day, and your baking environment is exactly the same. Once you dial in your recipe using your flour in your kitchen, small deviations may make a small difference. Once you locked in your recipe, no point deviating if your measurements work for you.

Just to be sure, there is no need to generate steam in the oven, right?
