Panettone Universal Method Calculator
I quickly put together a calculator tailored to the primo impasto which calculates the variables of The Universal Method as devised by Thomas Teffri-Chambelland.
I have been devising my own formulas and was interested in seeing how they stacked up according to his method.
Excluding dough inclusions / add-ins / of the homogenous dough:
%Su = % Sugar
%Hu = % Water content
Cu = Sugar concentration in available water content.

Feedback welcome.
Thank you! That will be very helpful. How is the panettone going?

Haven't made many, my primary goal has been to focus on achieving a pH above 5 in the primo impasto. No joy yet!
I have however achieved a very low TTA / acid load without compromising on activity.
I've actually mostly been doing sourdough pizza with my LM!
Cheers,
Michael
Thank you Michael - I'm sure a lot of work has gone into that. What are your thoughts on sourbakernz's LM zucchero?

1. Yeast water = one failed attempt
2. Livito Madre = many fails including a incomplete blog post.
