Adding to Basic Sourdough
I've taught a basic 1-2-3 Sourdough Bread class at work and for friends a number of times and people generally ask what can they add to the dough in order of getting a variety bread from the same basic recipe. I give them a few examples and off they go. I would like to give them a bit more direction than that, like a longer list and approximate amounts (in Baker’s percent). So, my target is Sourdough recipes like 1-2-3, Tartine (Chad Robertson) and FWSY (Ken Forkisk) and wondering what you would add and how much?
I am generally referring to a single ingredient that you could just throw into your basic dough as you are mixing it up. An example would be Cheddar Cheese or Garlic. A problem example would be Seeds, I find that I do not need to add any more liquid for Sunflower or Pumpkin seeds but I do if I use Flax seeds, so I soak them first.
So, below is list of various ingredients by category (please add more if you like). I have filled in the Baker's percentage for a few of the items and I hope that some of you can help me out on some of the others; a range of percentages would be good too, I might like more or less of an ingredient that you would. I notice that the percentages that I have found in various recipes vary widely (example: Dried Apples vs Dried Apricots which I would thing would be similar), so I am also hoping that some consistency might develop in each category.
Note: Does anyone know how to format a table, like the one below, so that the grid line show up? I created it in Excel then pasted it into word and then copied and pasted into this article. I could have created it in HTML but that is a pain.
