King Arthur's youtube channel just released a video on baking mini-focaccia to use for sandwiches, actually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0h742NZFH0

NLJP posted:Looks like it could be this actually, to me I think you're right, one of the places I went/ordered from was Mi'ndujo (not the one pictured above) and their website refers to Sanizzo bread, which google seemed to treat as interchangeable with panuozzo. I actually made some pizza dough over night and shaped it into little loaves, I think they need to be a bit flatter to get the desired effect, they stayed a bit doughy in the middle even after flipping for some extra time in the oven, and didn't have the surface area for fillings I was after. Probably pressing or stretching them more will do it, not to pizza thinness but just to get it cooked through and crusty.

Could it be a schiacciata? Here's a recipe that I haven't tried, just found it from google. https://ladyandpups.com/2020/03/09/best-sandwich-bread-florence-style-schiacciatta/ edit: oh whoops. Didn't realize the person above me was the op asking the question.

I recently learned about the existence of the Double Italian Hitdog, which I now feel honor bound to try. Two hotdogs cooked in oil (in which hot peppers were marinating) and topped with potatoes, and sauteed peppers and onions, and then wrapped in pizza dough instead of a bun.

I made a nice seeded Rye, Spelt and Wheat loaf, turned out nice. Not enough steam but otherwise OK. But the best part I had used buckwheat flour to dust the banneton and it juts gave an amazing nutty flour crust on the outside. Would recommend.

I can't actually find the recipe online but it's a bit like this one https://www.theperfectloaf.com/spelt-rye-and-whole-wheat-sourdough-bread/ Here's the recipe from the book Levain and Mix And the timeline Except I had no wholemeal spelt so just used light spelt and refuced the water a touch. Like all spelt doughs it's an absolute loving nightmare to handle. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Apr 23, 2024 |

That's a really high hydration! Wow. I might try it at some point though, thank you for the pictures! The bread I've been making lately has been 50g Rye, 300g Wholemeal Spelt, 300g Seed Mix, 250 white and 58% water, Plus 15g-ish sugar, 10g salt, 25g oil, 7g yeast Although I've run out of rye now, I'm trying to use up my spelt and I'm trying to eat less white due to being diabetic, so I've been doing 600g spelt, 300g seed mix, with different ratios depending on how I feel on the day. The 58% seems to be the sweet spot for not too sticky to knead, although I do it all in the mixer at the moment.

I used to do all mine in the mixer but my bread started to go downhill so went back to doing it all by hand to get a better feel for the dough. Then I can go back to the mixer. I find doughs with any amount of spelt in them a nightmare though so regretted not using the mixer.

I've had a "make bagels" item on my to-do list for weeks. I decided on this recipe for sourdough bagels. I'm blown away by how easy they were and how well they turned out. I'll be doing this again for sure. The website is formatted strangely so I'll summarize here. quote:For the Dough

For any Chicagoons here, we’re getting rid of some bread stuff! Shoulda posted here earlier tbh. My wife used to run a bread program at Smackdab and still has all the equipment, but we’re moving and don’t have room anymore. We have roughly 12-18 9” round bannetons, 13 ish 10” oblong bannetons, 5 13” oblong bannetons, an 18” oblong cast iron cooker and a 10” round cast iron cooker. We’re willing to let go of them for well under wholesale, so you can pretty much name your price; we just need to get rid of them by Tuesday. Username at gmail, I can send pics. If you really really want something, we can move it with us up to Rogers for pickup there in the evenings E: as mentioned below, cast irons are gone (they’re Lodges not challengers btw 🙃) So are all the rounds, oblongs still here!

Anyone have tips for cooking pita on the stovetop? First couple attempts today ended with no pocket forming, despite having the same thickness as my successful batch using the oven. I took the bulk fermented and divided dough straight from the fridge, shaped it and threw it on a sizzling hot cast iron skillet. Let it sit 30 seconds, flipped it and gave it two minutes on each side from there. Would prefer not heating my oven up just to make 1-2 of these so I’d like to figure this out. Got two more dough balls ready, if nothing else I’ll let them get closer to room temp and proof slightly after shaping and see if that helps.

You need a lid on it I've found. Or you could try turning it with a tea towel like you would chapatis. Take a tea towel, press on the edge, turn it a little, repeat, pressing down the edge and turning the thing until the middle puffs up. You could use a lidded cast iron pot like a small oven too, just try not to let the bottom get so hot they burn. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk8AhSC_Vuw 11:50ish in this video Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Take a tea towel, press on the edge, turn it a little, repeat, pressing down the edge and turning the thing until the middle puffs up. Thanks for these suggestions. I tried the towel technique and didn’t have any success, maybe because my dough is much thicker than those chapatis. But it’s just as likely I was doing the technique incorrectly. Will put chapati on the short list of new breads to try making. I used a heavy lid for my next one and got a modest pocket on about 80% of the pita, enough to make it easy to open up for a sandwich so I was very happy with it. Letting the dough warm a bit out of the fridge helped in both cases I think. Next time I think I’ll let the lid pre heat with the pan since it’s also cast iron, and see if the extra heat from the top helps. Solarin fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Apr 29, 2024 |

I’ve been trying to get a good english muffin recipe down after trying two and having them come out feeling way too dense. Last batch was King Arthur bread flour at 82% hydration with 80% of the liquid being whole milk with no other enrichment. Didn’t even intend for that hydration but over poured and went with it. I bulk proofed it overnight in the fridge then shaped and cooked it in two batches to see what cooking them at different points in the final proof would look like. They were still cold from the fridge so they weren’t proofing quickly 1h proof 1h40m proof The right one is the shorter proof. It's noticeably smaller but looks nicer I think the longer proof was overdoing it because some huge bubbles migrated to the surface, but I still liked them more than the shorter proof just on account of the extra volume. The dough was extremely delicate and had to be moved around using a spatula like a peel. There’s probably a lot I could improve just on handling the dough once it’s in the pan. It gets a huge spring from the slow heat, but has to be flattened somewhat so the final shape and browning is even. Got them in the freezer now ready to be defrosted and topped with some poached eggs this week. Solarin fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Apr 30, 2024 |

Does plain yogurt actually work as a leavening agent for flatbreads, or do recipe blogs keep playing the same cruel joke on me?

I'm getting into bread making, but how do I store bread before it all gets eaten? Are bread boxes something that help with freshness or just pest control? If they help with freshness, any recommendations for a bread box?

# ? May 3, 2024 00:33 |
We keep ours in the closed oven and take it out if we need to use the oven. It does stop it going stale.

Bread boxes help - limits the air circulation or something. Bread has a short shelf life, but keeping it in a clean container can stretch its out to about 5 days. There are additives you can add to increase it further (like potato starch). If you really want it to last, keep it in the freezer and defrost it by making toast. A common sense tip is if you find yourself throwing away bread, just make smaller loaves. Use less flour, and scale everything else back from that. e: for my birthday I got a waxed paper bag to keep the bread in, which is exciting.

I just wrap my sandwich loaves tightly in plastic wrap after they cool. High hydration breads take a while to cool completely so I tend to leave them for a couple hours. With crusty breads I’ve heard a paper bag is your best bet. Something that can breathe but also absorbs moisture. Might work well combined with a breadbox. If your goal is to slow bread staling and you don’t want to freeze, look at tangzhong or yudane/scald methods. I was really impressed how long my sandwich loaves were staying soft when I scalded 20% of my flour with no other adjustments.

Got some Spelt grains to mill at home for the seeded spelt loaf I was making. Decided to bake it on the bbq as well as I had it on already. It turned out nice, crust was thinner than doing it in the oven, temperature was pretty high though 250-300 degrees. I considered trying to add steam and put a tray on the heat deflector but it was over 500 so struggled to not instantly vaporise the water.

I'm getting back into baking bread a bit (by which I mostly mean lazy no-knead things), does anyone have a good no-knead, overnight-in-the-fridge, whole wheat recipe? Ideally all whole wheat, but I guess some plain flour is fine too. King Arthur has this recipe, but it uses their special 'white whole wheat' flour which I don't really feel like ordering unless it's really the magic weapon. I'd really prefer a coarser, crustier loaf than that recipe, which seems to be more of a soft sandwich loaf.

Foe an overnight boule, see if this post from Bread in Five Minutes a Day is what you want. I do essentially this but 100% whole wheat and as sourdough. (Though I get the best oven spring with about 30% AP flour and 70% whole wheat.)

I’ve had limited success using a local farm-grown whole grain flour even mixed with mostly AP when trying to do my wife’s no-knead overnight sourdough recipe. It usually comes out severely lacking in gluten to the point where the last one I made had both of us laughing pretty hard for a while, it was so hosed up looking.
