3 Weekend Bake

My planned bake was

1) Sourdough Ciabatta from TxFarmer Formula which I wanna try to improve the crumb. (Now I think I have issue with an ungreased container, when I flip my dough out after bulk fermentation it sticks. Will remember to grease all my containers next time before it hits the fridge. 

This morning I have it toasted spread with Foie Gras Pate served with Tomato (Unfortunately forgot to take a pic of my sandwich)

2) Wheat Rye 20 from Tartine No3 with Mxed Seeds, which didnt turn out very well as it spread before it hits the oven (crumb shot n details is written in my other post)  

This is served as toast with Flax oil and cottage cheese spread

3) Pain Au Levain (corn Flour) adopted from BREAD This is a salvage bake just in case my second bake is used to feed my bin. The formula I used is below

Looks great on the outside.  Can't wait to you see your crumb shot.  Sounds like a tasty loaf!

Hi Isand66,

Thank you very much for your kind words, but the crumb isnt as open as i would have imagine. I think its very much due to underdeveloped gluten. I will give it a few more stretch n fold next time. Also it sticks to the plastic container when I pour the dough out after bulk fermentation. which is more of a sign of not enough gluten develop.

Doesn't look too bad to me.  I don't really think the gluten development had anything to do with the sticking.  Sometimes if your dough is a high hydration it's just going to stick so spray with some cooking oil and that will do the trick.  Sometimes it has more to do with how you handle the dough.  When it stuck to your bowl you may have accidentally deflated too many of the dough "bubbles" formed from the CO2 trapped inside.

Anyway, I'm sure the next time you will get it even more to your liking...but if it tastes good that's the main point.

Love the various grains, germ and seeds.  It looks mice inside and ou.  the crumb siopen enough for sure.  Get sme rice flour in that basket so nothing will stick to it:-)  This bread has to taste as good as it looks.  Well done and

Happy baking
