Turkish flat bread with milk kefir

September 8, 2023 - 2:48pm -- breadmaking

Please help ...

Had some Turkish flat bread it had some herbs on it - i think it was rosemary. Made by Cobbs bakery

The bread looked simple - not much of a rise but was very  very soft  - i would like to try this as there is not much of a rise to this so it may not be too complicated for me.

Or even a flat Some thing like a barbari - Mediterranean bread

I will be glad to just get some rolls/buns out of the dough

Just using milk kefir and wheat flour not AP flour

Is it possible to make such a roll/bun?

Focaccia texture and crumb help

August 26, 2023 - 2:48am -- RintoulStBaker

I have recently changed the method with which I make focaccia and have noticed some differences in texture that I can’t pinpoint the reasons for 

 

Previous method: 

 

Mix (cold water)

S&F x 4 - every 30min 

BF (12hrs total)

Divide & Proof (2-3hrs)

Bake - 26m 230C

 

Current method:

 

Mix (warm water)

S&F x 4 - every 30min

Biga pizza dough timings

August 16, 2023 - 3:54am -- sallam

My home pizza dough is using 100% biga@40% hydration, fermented for 60 hours in the fridge. I don't have a mixer, and mixing the rest of the water at baking day is a mess, so I tried my food processor and it worked, dividing the 1kg flour dough into 4 parts, mixing each separately with just water, and later salt.

It turns out too sticky. How should I handle it? how long it should be relaxed after mixing? and should I do french folds to make it absorb water better, or just give it time? How long before cutting and balling?

Hydration Calculation Question

May 31, 2023 - 12:37pm -- Headlock

Hi all! Hoping to get some help with hydration calculations. I've been working on a sourdough pizza dough recipe for a high heat oven. Results have been a bit inconsistent, so have a few questions:

- The recipe I started from called for 00 flour, but I've switched to a high gluten flour (PFM Power High Gluten). Do I need to consider adding more water? If so, how do I calculate water content for different flours?
