Submitted by jcking on November 18, 2011 - 5:31pm Collecting Data to Determine Baked Loaf by WeightCalling any Fresh Loafers to join in an experiment to collect data to determine when a loaf is finished baking by using a little math and weighing the loaf pre and post bake. I've heard, read and used a few different ways to determine when a loaf is done. Loaf temperature, thump, squeeze, time. Jeff Hamelman and a few others say a loaf can lose between 10 ~ 20% moisture during the bake. If I attempted to do this myself it could take awhile so I'm asking others to join in and post their results along with mine. Things you'll need; Things to measure; Math; (% moisture loss) Information to post; Hopefully the collected data will be an additional tool for home bakers and bakerians.

Submitted by subfuscpersona on June 2, 2009 - 11:29am Brioche questionI need to know the approximate amount of brioche dough that is appropriate for my fluted brioche mold. The mold is about 3" high with a bottom diameter of about 3". The liquid capacity is about 5 & 3/4 cups.
I'm participating in The BBA Challenge
Reinhart's brioche recipe makes 2 pounds of dough; I want to scale down the recipe ingredients so I only make one loaf using the brioche mold I own (and have never used!). |
