Italian 00 flour and machine mixing

May 3, 2021 - 10:19am -- JonJ

On the weekend I tried making Niko Romito's potato and semolina bread. The one Alfanso suggested in the no comfort community bake ;-)

My flour was Italian 00 flour - this one - which is around 10.7% protein (the packet says it is like a T45), together with some semolina and some potato. This flour did not react well to my machine mixer.

courage bagel

April 5, 2021 - 10:17am -- bob_flet

Hi there baking bagel community - I live in London - and have seen the craze for Courage Bagels online in LA - as a bagel enthusiast, would love to have a crack at these bagels at home. (No travelling due to the pandemic) 

Any thoughts or tips on how to recreate this bagel? they look so different and crusty / chewy 

Looks like a sourdough bread roll boiled...so Im guess high hydration and even a autolyse method...or perhaps a worked pizza dough boiled and baked? 

 

Any thoughts? comments

all the best

Panettone: Is doing this really necessary ??

March 21, 2021 - 12:48pm -- Matheus

Hello, guys. In these last few months I have been trying to learn about panettones, then, I just registered here because I was wondering why making the primo impasto, let it triple in volume and only after that make the final dough. Could someone explain me what would be the differences in the final bread if I made just one dough?

Stiff Starter Sourdough (from the book Crust)

March 17, 2021 - 5:34pm -- Kistida

Hey everyone, I’ve tried making the following recipe according the book Crust but I’m wondering if I can make this in a day, without the overnight proof. My kitchen is currently between 22-24°C. Can anyone suggest how long should I bulk ferment and final proof for now (almost spring here in Canada) and when it’s summer. Thank you. :)

Makes 2 large loaves

90g spelt flour 

700g strong whiteflour 

400g starter (50% hydration) 

650g water

20g salt

Challah help

March 15, 2021 - 5:29am -- George bakes in...

I have always been in love with the look of Challah and decided to try it for myself using a recipe from Baking and Pastry. I ran into some trouble when it came to rolling the dough pieces into logs—it was very, very firm. I would do a dog bone shape with a log and try to extend but it was somewhat resisting and then started to tear as I got longer (it was still pretty thick for challah). I developed the dough to full gluten as described and it passed the window test successfully.
