☀️ Good morning, bakers. It's bake day. 🥖🔥 Drop in here all day. This is the working thread. 📸 Photos ❓ Questions 📈 Progress shots 😅 Panics 🏆 Wins 🥣 Anything you've got I'll be in and out of the kitchen and in and out of this thread until the last loaf is out of the oven. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 Here's where I am right now: [Drop photo of your levain or current dough state] My levain is ready and I'm mixing the sourdough version with toasted black sesame this morning. If you want to follow my pace, here's roughly when I'll hit each stage: 🥣 Fermentolyse: 8:00 AM 🧂 Add salt: 9:00 AM 🔄 First coil + seeds: 9:30 AM 🔄 Second coil: 10:00 AM 🔄 Third coil: 10:30 AM 🌡️ Bulk finish: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM ✂️ Pre-shape: 1:00 PM 🪢 Final shape: 1:30 PM ❄️ Cold retard: 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM 🔥 Bake: 6:00 PM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ Your timeline may run faster or slower depending on your kitchen temperature. Don't chase mine. Watch your dough. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 A Few Quick Reminders For Today 🧂 The dough is going to look like it's falling apart after the salt. That's normal. Keep working it. It'll come back together. 💧 At 80% hydration, wet hands are your friend. Floured hands work against you. Keep a bowl of water nearby. 🌻 If you're using sesame, sunflower, pepitas, or any seed besides poppy... Toast it first if you haven't already. Cool completely before folding it in. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 The Recipes Are Here 🥖 Sourdough:https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/poppy-seed-sourdough-loaf 🥖 Yeasted:https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/poppy-seed-yeasted-loaf ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧡 For The New Bakers In The Room Welcome.

This Sourdough without Poppyseed but used Henry recipe except in all my recipes as Cheryl and Henry know no salt 🧂 added Just taken from the oven .. so doing another bake with sourdough poppyseed bake as bought more from the store late yesterday.. so will bake tomorrow same recipe same method my kitchen is 20 Celsius outside temperature 🤒 16 my time is 0946 hours will slice when it’s cooled🥖

Eaten half already with unsalted butter and cheese 🧀 for lunch today.. Picture of base unfortunately I cut it with my bread knife 🔪

I made the pretzel loaf and it was a mess, haven't tasted it yet. I think I over did the bulk and the cold, it barely fit into a canning pot and started to come apart in the boiling water. It has a very soft crumb and great flavor. Here are some pictures.

Well to be honest i don’t like the taste of the baked donuts from the oven very much as i prefer the taste frying in coconut oil was the winner .. the recipe stated to do it by oven.. preheat to 200- 175 for 9 to 13 mins … i pull one out after 13 mins split it in half was pale and doughy so place it back in the oven and cook on 200 Celcuis for another ten minutes then pull them out placed melted unsalted butter then rolled in cinnamon sugar .. i used a muffin tin decided no holes as the hubby prefers them with cinnamon sugar only ... here are the results below if i bake them again i will not be baking in oven seeing my husband doesn’t have cholesterol or heart problems 3rd pic of crumb doughy …5th crumb shot was cooked tasted better so hubby stated after being in the oven for 23 mins all up… the rise was perfect i was pleased with that and the crumb at the end was just right the temp in my kitchen was 22Celcuis .. outside temp 27 Celcuis ..
