You may discover that I used a particularly excessive share of prefermented flour for this bake. At 40% it’s a lot a lot larger than I might normally use for a lean dough. I sometimes use about 9% pff. I wished to see how a lot quicker it might ferment (clearly a lot quicker) and see if it might have an effect on the flavour and texture. I’ve seen some bakers remark that they use very excessive pff as a result of it leads to a extra open crumb for them. I wished to see if that will be the case right here.
I haven’t sliced this loaf however I’m more than pleased with how this loaf seems on the surface. The oven spring was spectacular. I most likely might have diminished the full weight of the dough for my pullman pan right down to 800 g or so subsequent time.
