's Fool Proof Sourdough Loaf. I did one loaf according to his recipe with jalapenos, cheddar and bacon inclusions. The second loaf I made it an 80% hydration loaf with Italian Herb and Black Pepper inclusions. The doughs felt completely different. The 80% dough was of course a looser, silkier dough that needed a more gentle handling when shaping. It also started forming bubbles a lot earlier. In fact, right after the fermentolyse it had bubbles. I added the inclusions during the 2nd stretch and fold and they incorporated nicely. In the finished product the crumb is a little tighter than the other loaf. The oven spring was great. I even got some small blisters on the crust. Both loaves proved to be fool proof and absolutely delicious!!! I'll be making them again and again! They're husband approved! I bet your significant other and family will love them too. Do check out the breakfast of a champion... it's a slice of the Italian Herb & Black Pepper Loaf nicely oven toasted with grated cheddar and a boiled egg. Here's what they look like..
