I never thought it would happen to me, yet here I stand, covered in flour and active yeast, googling sourdough bread tutorials in a kitchen bigger than my first apartment
I'm literally doing the same thing. Life comes at you fast. I'm in the bathroom tryna remember all the techniques to shaping sourdough that I learnt over the years
Hello, I recently got the 10” baskets from the San Francisco Baking Institute. Will the bread proofed in this sized basket fit in the challenger bread pan?Thanks.
I have a question, if I shape my dough like this and bake it, later it will unfold again. just like a puff pastry, its not one mass but rolled in layers. Am I using to much flour?
Any tips for what to do if you tear your dough during this stage? My dough was a bit too wet and I handled it a bit too rough and as a result it tore as I was shaping it.
I would flip the dough over so the sticky side is up, then put the torn piece of dough into the sticky part. Then form the boule gently and the torn piece will re-integrate itself into the middle of the dough. Hope this helps. For wetter doughs I also use extra flour on the counter when shaping.
you can just pinch/squish it back together, most of the time the dough will still have another proof after shaping so it won't make a difference if you have to be a little rough.
Perfect. No fuss, no frills but super useful. Especially as I keep forgetting it! I need to make more round loaves :)
It’s funny, I tend to prefer oval loaves… but there is something so nice about a boule, too!

I thought the same thing and often think back about how once I started baking my life changed and never was the same... Have fun 🙂

It should! But like you asked, the 8" will definitely. The 10" is quite a bit larger and the pan is more round...

If you're using too much flour when shaping, it can get trapped between the layers and leave dry spots where it can come undone
What’s the hydration of this dough? My loaves (Forkish), seem too wet to get it to go so cleanly.
This was around 75%, but it's very dependent on your flour! If it's too wet, hold back more water to bring strength to the dough.
where did you get that giant bench knife? looking for a big one like that.
RackmasterUK -- I believe he now sells them online!
@@theperfectloaf they do indeed, thanks!! just ordered one.

Just pinch back together!
Thank you! I put it in slo-mo so the technique would sink in. 🙂
Glad it helped!
no drama and not pretentious
nothing but good bread, that's how i like it :)
❤
water ratio of this dough please
This was very likely around 75% hydration.
Nice hands and arms . . .
😊 thanks
Is this pre shaping or final shaping? Thank you!
This is final shaping!
Thanks so much!
