My first loaf - Potato bread with pate fermentee from Hamelman
Hello dear friends ,
My name is Sorin , i am from Brasov, Romania and after i read old Codruta blog i am in loved of baking bread. My sourdough starter is not strong enough to bake - i tested with 1.2.3 sourdough bread recipe and didn't have a great result.
So i took Hamelman book and made my first recipe - Potato -Rosemary bread as describe . I use bakers % as a guide , multiply by 7 and make one loaf. I had a liitle more than 25 celsius in my kitchen so i couldn't let preferment to stay 12-16h. So i retard it in the fridge by night and took it with aprox 3h before mixing. Timing was perfect.
This is the final result :

Do you have a picture of the inside?
I would have baked it just a little bit darker but that is a personal choice.
Sure, i couldn't resist to taste it after 20-30 minutes. I bake it at 230 celsius with steam , then reduce at 200 for a long baking because of humidity from roasted potatoes - total time was about 50 minutes and sound hollow at the end .
Next time i would like to do it with sourdough starter and i would like a long fermentation - 8-16- 24h . Do you think it will fit to this tipe of bread?
on how much prefermented flour you put in there. Start with 9-10% and see what happens.
Hi again,
Just like in Hamelman recipe 30% of pàte fermentèe from total .
fine baker for sure. You bread is great and it is hard to brown steam in the oven from veggies:-) Caramelization only happens in the absence of water!
Welcome and happy SD baking
Yep, she's blog is wonderful and learn a lot from there.
Can' t wait to try a seed bread but need to wait a little bit more with my starter.
2 days ago i've made a sandwich white bread with tangzhon method - also Hamelman recipe and was great also. I think was underkneaded and dough was a little less for my pan . Taste was awsome - me and my wife eat it in 1 day. :)
Don't have a scrapper and banetons yet but there are on the way. Best aquisition was my electric oven with steam injection which helps me a lot , also a baking stone .
