Panettone: How to Correct the Balance of Pasta Madre

Hi All, looking for some advice from any experienced panettone makers out there:

I’ve been making panettone for a few years now, each year bringing new challenges. This week, going into the last week before Christmas, my pasta madre shifted to an off bitter/acidic flavor, I’m guessing too much lactic fermentation. Does anyone out there have suggestions on corrective measures to bring back the pasta madre into balance?  I would typically put it down to rest for a few days, but I don’t have the time to wait. I

Ninja foodie oven to bake bread?

Hi everyone,

I am new here and came across this link on a pizza site. I'm not that great at making breads and stuff but I try. My big problem is that I don't have an oven to use. I bought this little tiny fixer upper house and there is actually an oven but it's such a mess I haven't even turned it on and I won't. I might end up cleaning the top part of it to see if the burners on the top work but I won't even use the inside of the oven. Eventually I'll buy a new one but can't afford one now so I have a ninja xl foodi oven that I've been using.

Does anyone have a recipe on how to make fresh yeast or what the ingredient list is on the packaging of fresh yeast includes? I have tried to make fresh yeast once, but the results failed and the amount was too much for my ability to use as a home baker.

Sprouted Rye Bread without a scale, measure or recipe

I love a good recipe to follow as much as the next person, but there was a time when bread wasn't made that way. It was made with markers based on our senses of touch, taste, smell and sight.

As anyone who has read one of my posts in the past knows, I like to bake rye/wheat blended bread. I have a small library of books with recipes (some work, some don't) and procedures for making a specific loaf.
