I had my first go at making pane bianco for someone today and it turned out great! They were very happy with it. I spread a small amount of pesto inside and added garlic, basil, sundried tomatoes, olives and cheese. Love the presentation and it's surprisingly simple to do.



Tried this the other day and very happy with how it came out.

Used real mozzarella which was probably too subtle and overpowered by the sundried tomatoes and garlic. Next time planning to use a mixture of chedder & gruyere and confit garlic instead of raw.

I'm trying this recipe for the second time, today, and the dough was incredibly dry. Like ridiculously. I weighed out everything to the gram, and ended up having to add several tablespoons of water to the dough, to get it all supple. The instructions said that the dough should be very soft, and stick to the bottom, but if I hadn't added water it would have been basically pie crust dough.

Anybody else experience this?

the trick is, instead of waiting for the tangzhong to cool off, mix the cold milk and beaten egg with it right away. then add it to the stand mixer

my phone suggested “beat up gf” when i started typing beaten egg. hmm.

This is one of those recipes where you look at it, think "I don't know about this", eat a piece, think "this could be crispier", eat another piece, and keep alternating criticisms and pieces until you're basically done.

It's really tasty, though I think it needs a baguette-like crust to really hit the next level. The texture is a little one note, right now.

I've done it twice - It's good but last time the dough felt a bit wetter than expected. I'm still figuring my way around making bread since I don't do it often (an entire loaf is too much to go through with the limited amount of food I eat daily). The other half of the last loaf is in the freezer for whenever I have space for eating bread again.

How did I even get here, son?!
More baguettes. Even with a little board to transfer them into the stone I still gently caress it up and dump them upsidedown. And the shaping isn't as tight as I want it to be to begin with. Going to try 150g of flour per loaf next time to make them a little finer and maybe more manageable

Currently I have a loaf of bread rising to be baked in a preheated enameled Dutch oven at 475° but I'm out of parchment paper. Should I run out and buy some or can I go without it?

Mr. Squishy

Throw down some rice flour or such like if you don't trust the enamel but most doughs wouldn't stick. Enriched or super-wet doughs, you'd need to take precautions.

I might have some rice flour floating around somewhere. Would a greased sheet of aluminum foil work?

I’d put it in with nothing before I’d try foil. I’ve only had bread stick once going into the Dutch oven directly. But I have one with a pan for a lid so its easy to get the bread in there and score it too.

Thanks everyone, I sprinkled some rice flour on the bottom and it didn't stick. It also burnt on the outside, but that's because it burnt last time and I forgot to make a note on the recipe to reduce the time. The inside was still good though.

I'm troubleshooting sourdough pizza dough. Crosspost from pizza thread

HolHorsejob posted:

I made sourdough pizza dough last night. My fridge is kinda cold so I left it on the counter in ziplocs for like an hour and a half to wake up the starter. No activity.

Well, it wasn't all that warm in my kitchen, so I put it in the oven with the light on (~90F) for about an hour. Still nothing.

I put it in the fridge in its usual spot (crisper drawer at ~40F). I check back today, still nothing. What should I attribute this to? Can I still salvage this batch by throwing it back in the stand mixer with regular yeast?


Recipe:
- 900g neopolitan 00 pizza flour
- 600g water
- 350g starter
- 15g olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
(salt I'll add just before baking)


I mixed everything, hydrated for 5 minutes, kneaded for ~6 minutes in my stand mixer.

Variables:
- Starter was in cold fridge, like 35F. It's made from a leftover crust from last batch + flour & water
- I mixed it up before I left on a business trip, then didn't touch it for 2 weeks
- No salt in initial dough mix
- Less olive oil than usual

I made banana bread yesterday, it turned out great.

Rationale

Yesterday I worked backwards from the amount of starter that was in a jar I wanted to do away with.

600 grams of starter means 2000 grams of flour for a whole buncha bread.

Worked out great in a 20” mixing bowl I’m gonna tweak it to use a bag of flour in the future.

My oven broke after four years of moderate use. gently caress whirlpool. A replacement control board for my $500 stove costs $460

So I busted out the old toaster oven which worked great because one pan can bake inside while the next one proofs on top.

The kids ask for toast now and they used to ask for popsicles so I think we’re progressing

A successful bread day for me! Inspired by the Star bread discussion last week(?)




Lighting in the kitchen is not great so sorry! My bread always takes like 13 hours to make it to final proof for some reason.

Rationale

Ever since I fed my starter a banana I’ve been wondering whose choice it really was

E: big batch o dough rolled into ~60g balls in the freezer. Gonna see if they thaw/proof/fry nicely. If they’re good I’ll make a few hundred and be like “anybody want donuts?” Like all the time

E2: the thaw+proof actually works great

I had a loaf over proof while I was doing dinner and bath time and folded some dried blueberries into it and it came out better than everything else I made yesterday

That's a pretty loaf. What would you prefer to look like? More holes? Coarser crumb? Higher rise? If you know what you want, it's easier to help.

If you want easier kneading I (as always) strongly recommend the no-knead method. Excellent results for minimal effort.
I’d also maybe give your bread a slightly ringer proof and a higher temp

What kind of pot are you using? It looks relatively light weight from the photo. I assume the recipe instructs you to pre heat the pot. In that case if you aren’t using something heavy like cast iron the bottom and sides will probably be pale relative to the exposed top.

My favorite kneading style recently is to leave the dough in its mixing bowl and grab the side and top of a section and stretch it up as much as it will allow. Then fold and push the flap down into the center and try to capture some air in the process. Rotate the bowl and repeat until it resists stretching. Let it rest and repeat until it windowpanes nicely. Usually 3-4 rounds for me with 100% white flour recipes.

It’s slower than other methods because of the rest times but not much is active time. Ideally the dough is sticky enough to cling to the bowl and counter the stretching so you can just use one hand to stretch and one to rotate the bowl. Get your hands a little damp to prevent most of the sticking from working with it.

I’m probably way over complicating this, any combination of stretching and/or resting will work. I just really like not having to clean the counter after kneading dough.

stretching and folding is one million percent the way to go with higher-hydration bread doughs. much easier, more consistent, and way cleaner than slapping it on the countertop or whatever french great grandmas still do
