Slashing the top of a loaf with a wet dough
Forums:
Hello,
I am a newby to sourdough bread. Most or the recipes I have come across instruct the baker to cover the rising loaves with a damp cloth and to slash the top with a razor before baking.
Yesterday I had a couple of unbleached white flour loaves rise for nine hours, until they had risen to the top of their pans. They had that nice round shape on top. But they deflated once I cut into them and did not spring up that much during baking. I used an large exacto knife to cut, the sharpest knife I have.

Baking a bread with a protective layer
Forums:
Hi, I am trying to invent a bread with chocolate, dulce de leche and chipotle chili. I am trying to figureout how to bake the loaf without burning the chocolate. I remember seeing someone on The Great Brithish Bake Off baking a bread with a protective layer. Does anyone know what I am talking about, or know how to do this?

Puff pastry: Steamless or not
Forums:
I need this answer for an extra credit report (kidding)
In OPTIMAL puff pastry baking, which is better, STEAMLESS convection baking or convection baking WITH steam?
This question is all about the oven I'm about to purchase. This oven will only be used for baking puff pastry. So I don't want to spend extra money if not needed.
Thank you in advance.

Dabrownman, I'm scalding!
Forums:
Hi, dabrownman!
I'm doing a scald tonight! I don't have a dough to put it in, my 70/20/10 AP/WW/Rye 100% starter is four-five hours past peak having been feeding it twice a day for the past three days or so (which is fine...). But I don't care! I'm so excited that your toaster oven idea set at 150°F with the door ajar is doing wonderful things! It's starting to smell AWESOME! Yahooooo! :)
Of course, it's taking awhile to dial in just how far ajar the door should be and at what setting my toaster oven should be but I wanted to report in.
