Bread making log, Dec 27

  • Starter successfully doubled in size 2 hours after feeding.
  • Required amt. in recipe called for about half
  • Fed around 60g of flour and water (Resultant wt: 500g). Split into two jars, approximately 250g each.
  • Original in plastic container (nightly release), and new fork in glass jar (stable, weekly feeding)
  • Plastic container will be placed in fridge due to production freeze lasting Sat - Sun (inclusive).
  • Glass jar will be placed in fridge, to be fed around 1 January (6 days from now).
  • Will attempt to not stretch too much to avoid breaking bubbles (in response to dough being a bit dense)
  • Did not transfer to clean bowl after last stretch and fold
  • Taken out 10 hours after resting
  • shaped bread by stretching and folding a bit
  • Placed into clean floured bowl and put in oven on β€œproof” for 1:30, lid on
    • Dough was more bubbly than last time
    • Dough stuck to walls of the bowl, added flour to compensate
  • Bake time good, think I needed more scoring
    • AI: Make sure scores are long so they can expand
  • Seasoned dutch oven with olive oil; Very smoky after preheat.
    • AI: After preheat, make sure to take dutch oven lid off under range hood. Also, olive oil is not low smoke point.
  • Puffier after baked
