#Yeastodon peoples. Bread or beer, it doesn't matter.

Make it so.

Been off my game lately but finally managed to bake a #sourdough after a two month hiatus. #yeast was feeling a bit punchy but it bounced back as well! #YeastMasters #yeastodon

#Zastodon: how should I know?!

The dough through its first rise.
Then divided into 3 parts and shaped into loaves. Towel over them.
I got out the scale and weighed the dough. It's 2160 grams which is v close to the target of 2100. Which is why stopped weighing ingredients as is advised by experts like https://www.thefreshloaf.com/. Bake from cold oven 450°F/240°C with pan of cold water 22mins, turn to 325°F/165°C another 22 mins. Time is a bit arbitrary, 22 has symmetry.

See prev post for the start. All measures approx. I don't weigh any more. Preferment rose & fell overnight. Add 1.5c (350ml) each whole wheat and unbleached flours, 3T (40-50ml) each olive oil & brown sugar, 1t (5ml) sea salt, this time some pumpkin seeds ⅔c (200g, 160ml). Mix. Then add 2-3c (5-700ml more flour). Then cover oiled lump of dough with a towel.
#bread #yeastodon

Bread starting with a soupy "preferment" (also called "poolish" and "biga").
Measurements all approx, because it doesn't matter. (I don't weigh things anymore)

3cups /700ml cold tap water
1.5 teaspoons (7 or 8ml) yeast
1.5c (350ml) each whole wheat & unbleached flour
½c (125ml) each oats & ground flax.
Stir 100x (made that up. I stir clockwise / sunwise, no reason)
Leave at least until next day.

I'll post next steps in reply tomorrow.
