Properly, there’s nothing like taking your dough out of the proofer to do a S&F after which forgetting to place it again in to proof!!
Because of my senior second and the necessity to go to mattress, I put the dough within the fridge in a single day to complete bulk. Naturally, it went from a focused 50% rise to round 90%.
The dough was positively over-proofed, however after shaping and refrigerating for round 10 hours earlier than baking, it nonetheless got here out fairly good. I used complete eggs on this one purposely so the crumb was just a little drier than with simply egg yolks as meant.
I used one in every of my new favourite grains from Barton Spring Mills referred to as Stardust, which is a tough white winter wheat, which is barely malty with a light wheat taste. This was milled with my Mockmill 200 and sifted as soon as with a #30 drum sieve and remilled on the most interesting setting. The durum berries had been milled the identical approach however I additionally sifted with a #40 drum sieve earlier than remilling on the most interesting setting. I used Hopi Blue corn kernels and milled them on the best setting and sifted utilizing a #30 sieve.
I used my Ankarsrum to combine up the dough and open baked it on a baking stone with steam.
Method
Levain Instructions
Combine all of the levain substances collectively for about 1 minute and canopy with plastic wrap.
Let it sit at room temperature for round 6-7 hours or till the starter has virtually doubled. Both use in the primary dough instantly or refrigerate for as much as 1 day earlier than utilizing.
Fundamental Dough Process
Be aware: I exploit an Ankarsrum Mixer, so my order of blending is barely completely different than if utilizing a Kitchenaid or different mixer. Add all of the water to your mixing bowl besides the 70 grams of water. Add all of your flour to the bowl and blend on low for a minute till it types a shaggy mass. Cowl the blending bowl and let it relaxation for 20 – Half-hour. Subsequent, add the levain, salt, eggs, honey, bitter cream, and half the remaining water and blend on medium-low (about pace 3) for a couple of minutes till the water is absorbed, and switch the pace up a few notches for a couple of minutes till the dough begins to come back collectively. Let it relaxation for an additional 20-Half-hour and add the remainder of the water provided that you’re feeling you want it. Combine for 5-10 minutes extra till you’ve got a pleasant clean, developed dough.
Take away the dough out of your bowl and place it in a evenly oiled bowl, and do a number of stretch and folds. Be sure the dough is as flat as potential in your bowl/container, and measure the dough in millimeters and take the temperature of the dough as properly. Based mostly on the chart from http://www.thesourdoughjourney.com, decide what % rise you want and make an observation. When you have a proofer, determine what temperature you wish to set it at and what rise you might be aiming for. If the dough is absolutely developed, you don’t have to do any stretch and folds, but when it’s not, do a number of units 15-20 minutes aside.
As soon as the dough reaches the specified bulk rise, pre-shape and let relaxation for 15-20 minutes. End shaping and place in your banneton, bowl, or in your sheet pan, and canopy it so it’s fairly hermetic (observe: I simply learn a publish that implies it’s not essential to cowl the dough when refrigerating it. I’ve not tried this but, however that’s the approach {most professional} bakeries do it, they usually do have devoted retarders for dough). This dough may be very sticky, so be sure you use loads of rice flour in your banneton or bowl to forestall it from sticking. As I discussed earlier, I messed the majority ferment up, so it ought to end up higher for those who comply with the above instructions.
If you find yourself able to bake, an hour beforehand, preheat your oven to 540°F and put together for steam. Let your dough sit at room temperature whereas the oven is warming up. When able to bake, rating as desired. Put together your oven for steam. I’ve a heavy-duty baking pan on the underside rack of my oven with 1 baking stone above the pan and one on the highest shelf. I pour 1 cup of boiling water into the pan proper after I place the dough within the oven. I then decrease the temperature of the oven to 450°F for a miche or 455°F for smaller particular person loaves. Bake till they’re good and brown and the interior temperature is no less than 205 – 210°F.
Take the bread(s) out of the oven when accomplished and allow them to cool on a baker’s rack for so long as you’ll be able to resist.
