    Question: why do you feed a ratio of 1:5:5 for only 12 hrs till next feeding? Don’t you only need a 1:3:3 ratio if a healthy starter rises in 3-4 hours?

    I screwed up my last loaf using the deeper side of my dutch oven.. it kinda fell in the wrong way and sticked to the sides… going to try this method tomorrow, thanks for sharing!

    If I add freshly milled rye flour, will my starter be stiffer than a store-bought variety? If so, do I need to add a bit more water? Thank you! Love your book!

    Hey Maurizio. What @rlarviso is saying, is that in this video (m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIuCm8-xgsLPiKw.html&pp=ygUNQmVydGluZXQgc2xhcA%3D%3D) at 11:40, Richard Bertinet, the "inventor" of the slap and gold, says that turning the dough in between each "slap" is the lazy way of doing it-his method is to always do on the same side.

    I find that my dough gets progressively sticky with each stretch and fold as opposed to becoming smoother. I have to add that I add about 5-10 per cent whole wheat flour. I made my levain using 1/4 cup starter 1 cup of water and 1 1/2 cups of flour and I used maybe half of this in the dough because when I used all of the levain in proportion to the equivalent of 5 cups of flour i ended up over proofing it. So I decided to err on the side of caution.

    Hi. I made the dinner rolls exactly as you did in your video over 2 days (I couldn’t leave them in the fridge over night). They are delicious. It’s hard not to eat them all at once. I drizzled some seeds over (everything bagel style), and fresh out of the oven I added a touch of butter (not necessary, but it’s so good). For next time, I will add less sugar (half of your recommendations), but keep the sugar in the levain. I didn’t find your method to take more time than the usual recipe. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

    Just to clarify- when you are done stretching and folding you come back and say “it’s been about 4 hours” is that 4 hours since the final stretch and fold or is that 4 hours since you started the initial stretching and folding?

    Hey Maurizio :) I have a wish... I recently got my hands on emmer wheat flour, an ancient variety similar to einkorn. I would like to bake a bread with a big proportion of emmer whole wheat to get as much of the nutty taste as possible. I was looking for a recipe on your website and saw that you have neve used emmer before and that you also don't have a recipe with a high percentage of whole wheat einkorn. I know it might be tough to do because of low gluten contents. I would be very happy, if you could get your hands on emmer flour or create a recipe with a high percentage whole einkorn. Thanks for all the recipes, they have helped me a lot and my baking becomes better and better!

    I’ve had mixed results with this recipe and I think it’s because I didn’t pay attention to room temp. On hotter days it’s turned out great and on coolers days not so good. One thing I read in another book was to try mixing the levan in the warm water and dissolve it and then add the flour. That this will help the levan spread to all the flour more evenly and then begin autolyse with everything mixed together. What are your thoughts there?

    I have a starter that is over 100 years old. However it is milk based. I have the hardest time finding anyone that has any information on milk based starters. I am not sure if it ferments the same as water based or what the differences are other than one has dairy and the other doesn’t. Do you have any information on milk based starters? I would hate to toss mine away since it’s so old. The only reason I would toss it is because I had let it ferment and rise over a few days at room temperature and the smell is like sour milk. I am not sure if that is normal and if it is ok to use. I’ve been looking everywhere for this information, would love to see if any professionals can help with that, thank you!

    You can use ripe sourdough starter instead of making the levain, if you'd like! The 7/8g is correct, you use that to make a levain, which kind of like scales up your sourdough starter!
