Couple loaves today .

[chopsaw]

Been doing my normal full batch mix , 350 grams water , 500 grams flour , then splitting it in half and doing two loaves .

Mix in a stand mixer , then into the fridge overnight . Next morning I'll do some folding , then divide and into the baskets . Let it on the counter while the oven heats up . 25 minutes covered at 450 , then lid off until I like the color and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom .
Comes out great . Smellin good in here ,,



Gonna slice one for supper tonight .

The only thing that smells better than bread baking is bacon frying.

Thanks for the comments . I have 2 more to do tomorrow . Been using a dough conditioner in the last few . Really brings the flavor to the crust .

Yeah , if you fried a skillet of bacon while the bread was baking ,,,,

I love making cast iron dutch oven bread!! Try a diced rosemany loaf...incredible!!

 

[Compulsive Smoker]

Looks fantastic! I'll take a slice or 3 thank you very much!

 

[Brokenhandle]

I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of it!

Here's the cut shot . It's perfect . I think I got the dough conditioner going the right direction .

My son did legs and thighs in his dutch oven , with a peppercorn cream sauce .
He knows his flavor profiles and sauces .

Beautiful! What kind of proofing basket do you use? We have one that looks sort of like a coiled rope basket, but never been successful with it, or I lack an understanding of how to use it.

Do you use the cloth liner with yours ? It should have one .
I've been doing yeast bread for a lot of years , but I learned all the sourdough stuff from Rick .
This is thye " stuff " I use . The baskets ( on the left ) are made by Bulka .
They are wood pulp , and don't have to have a liner . White rice flour in them
to keep the dough from sticking .

Added the long bread oven last year .

What trouble are you having ?

 

[Fueling Around]

Jealous of those excellent loaves
I forgot my SD back north and I finally figured out why the new starter has been stubborn.
Water filter is not getting out all the chlorine.

...

Oh a BLT with fresh SD and garden fresh mater.

Sticking has been my continual issue but in hindsight I've been AP flouring the baskets, I'll give rice flour a go. Appreciate it!

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Wow those look great!

 

[normanaj]

Doing a bottom round Sunday. I can see some beef between a few slices of that.

Rice flour for the baskets only . Use AP or bread for the stretching and folding .
If you get the rice flour on your dough , it won't stick to itself .
Liner in the basket , dust with rice flour and dump the exess . Dough in bottom side up .

Appreciate it! Cover with a dish towel or something?
