    I love that King Arthur is so readily available as a baking company to the public. I started my bread making journey a year ago, and I’m proud of what I’ve learned so far. I feel like an expert, even if I’m just a home baker. Makes me feel like I’m in control of yet one more thing in my life. Happy baking, y’all!

    Made this recipe yesterday exactly as printed and it came out beautifully - excellent oven spring, 2 delicious flavorful loaves that the whole family enjoyed. Thank you KAFlour for this wonderful recipe! Excellent filming (Tucker? :) and super helpful tips from Martin, yet again. I am so grateful for the wealth of knowledge shared on this RUclips channel. One possible error in the recipe: I baked my 2 loaves for only 30 min at 475 F on a preheated baking steel with steam and they came out VERY dark, borderline burnt. I believe the 32-38 min cooking time in the recipe may be too long. I made a note to bake for only 25-30 min next time.

      I'm with you on the overbaking (and thanks for your comment). I checked at 27 minutes; the top was already starting to burn. Next time, 450 F. And there will be a next time - this bread was great. My first time using a couche. I'll also cut down on the water a little bit. A little too sticky which required me to flour my bench more heavily (which left too much of a coating on the outside). It may be a summer thing.

A friend and third generation professional baker has been encouraging me to step up to the ways of pre-ferment and poulish. As we speak, next to my laptop is this dough waiting for its second fold. I have family coming over for lunch tomorrow and I'm excited to see how this turns out. Thank you to Martin for his exceptionally clear and detailed explanation/demonstration. All hail King Arthur!

I have been a baker for years, grew up with a baker who made many types of breads and dinner rolls as well as sweet treats all week long to sell at farmers markets on weekends and fulfill many repeat orders. Boy was I lucky! Now at 55 I still enjoy baking a few times a week and taught my 5 kids how to bake as well. Your video was easy to listen to, no rambling on or annoying background noise music etc..right to the point but also useful knowledge passed along. I am going to make this bread tonight and finish it tomorrow to go with some homemade vegetable soup. I look forward to watching more and checking out that book...can never have enough cookbooks and baking recipes lol.

    Martin. Cambro containers... yes, absolutely yes! I preferment my dough for 72-96 hours. What I do is mix the poolish up, let it rest on the counter for 1-hour, then place it in the refrigerator. The day before I plan to bake the bread, I add the remaining ingredients like Diastatic Malt Powder, salt, water, and flour. Mix that either in the KitchenAid, or in a bowl and do a strength building fold a few times. Once I'm happy with the gluten, I place it back in the fridge for another day. I find by doing this, I virtually eliminate any glycemic impact. The other added benefit is the flavor development. If you are reading this response and have any questions, reply to me! By the way, I do the pizza dough exactly the same way.

    Wow! I baked these this morning, and we had a lovely turkey sandwich for lunch! I used sourdough starter in the preferment, and 1/2 tsp yeast in the dough. I baked them on a steel for exactly 32 min., and they were a perfect color from top to bottom.
    If I wanted to refrigerate after shaping and place in bannetons (like traditional sourdough), would it affect the end result? I assume it should sit out for at least an hour before baking? This video was so full of great information. Thank you so much!

    I love this recipe. The recipe calls for pouring water into a "cast iron pan." The only cast iron pan I have that fits beneath the baking stone is a cast skillet. So I poured water into my cast skillet and it worked as intended except that the steam removed most of the seasoning on my skillet cooking surface. May I suggest using a Pyrex baking dish instead?

    What are the Best ways to store the bread to keep it crispy?

    • @KingArthurBakingCompany
      @KingArthurBakingCompany  Месяц назад +1

      Hi there! We recommend storing soft sandwich bread or rolls at room temperature, wrapped in a plastic bag, for 4 to 5 days. Sourdough or a dense country loaf do best at room temperature, in a paper bag. Once cut, place the bread in the bag sliced-side down. After a day or two, slip the bread into a plastic bag. This will help preserve its moisture, but the crust will soften a bit. You can also freeze any extra bread that you won't be able to consume in the foreseeable future. Happy baking! -👩‍🍳Morgan

      This is a great use of your starter, Vivian! You could use 444g of starter and omit the yeast for the recipe, for which the rising times would be adjusted as needed for more time. This method would also omit step #1 of waiting 12+ hours for the poolish to ferment. Alternatively, you can make the poolish as-is and substitute the yeast for the dough with 1 - 2 Tbsp of starter (fed will have a faster rising time). Please let us know how your bake goes! -🥐Lily

      You can incorporate your starter into this and many other recipes with a couple of small substitutions. Simply replace 113 grams (1 scant cup) flour and 113 grams (1/2 cup) water in your recipe with 226 grams (1 cup) of your sourdough starter. Using sourdough starter, either fed or unfed, is possible in a wide range of recipes - so long as the recipe includes sufficient water/liquid and flour to be replaced by starter.

    Love everything about this! Thanks for sharing! Was trying to do some math regarding percentages! Poolish is roughly 86% of flour weight? And looking at a just over 60% hydration? Typical for a preferment to be such a large percentage? And how would this operate if using natural leaven? Much appreciated! Sorry for all the questions!

    • @breadwright
      @breadwright Месяц назад +1

      Hey John, Martin here. When calculating poolish, we always refer to it by the percentage of total flour it contains. An example would be, if there's 1,000g of flour in a recipe and 250g are in the poolish, we say, it's a poolish bread with 25% prefermented. By referring to the flour, we keep things consistent, thus allowing comparisons between different preferments with differing amounts of water. If you want to convert this over to a sourdough preferment, I'd keep the same quantities in the preferment, and simply sub. the yeast with healthy culture, using it at about 10% of prefermented flour weight, about 20 to 25g. On day two, give your bulk fermentation an extra hour to allow the culture to move things along. Happy Baking! Martin@KABC
