  • Experiment time! Today I am going try to bake three different breads where they are covered in the dutch oven longer and longer during the bake. One bread is baked covered for the entire bake. See what difference it makes for the crust in your sourdough bread.

  • @richcrompton6891

    I’ve been baking mine fully uncovered in an Aga oven now for 6 months. It allows me to have a loaf almost any size I want and the crust is just as good as when I was baking in a Dutch over, but I can bake when I need to with no pre-heating the oven. My experiments have been more about length of second prove in the fridge. It used to be 18 hours, but I’ve had success with a considerably shorter second prove, baking after 6 hours fridge time. My theory now is Sourdough bread making is the most adaptable bread making process for whatever timings you need to stick to. It is our earliest, leavened bread method and our ancestors didn’t have temperature controlled ovens, fridges, bannetons, Dutch oven etc. They ‘felt’ their dough and fitted it into their lives, untimed. It’s great to have the tools and the knowledge, but these shouldn’t be a barrier for people new to naturally leavened bread. Have a go and keep at it. You only improve your skills by doing it. Thanks for you experiments and tips. Every piece of knowledge helps my baking journey

      So True. I have found Sourdough the most forgiving of breads. As you say Once you have found your personal sweet spot stick to it and if you want use that as the base point of your experiments. Differing the flours (and mix) will give a multitude of taste profiles. Seeds can add both taste and texture.

      My most important takeaways are:

      * use a super sharp razor blade (make sure to wipe if after each score)
      * be deliberate with your cut. You have to mean it :)

    I know this isn’t your full demo and I love that one but I am watching this one and taking notes. And I have a question question you probably answer in the full demo. But: after you mixed the dough, water and salt you covered it. All of a sudden you are mixing in the levain. Question: did you give time to the autolyse and/or the levain to do something. Seems like you covered the mix and then immediately mixed in the levain.

    • @Foodgeek
      @Foodgeek  4 года назад +2

      Haha. Perceptive of you. I mixed for the autolyse (including the salt), I've started doing that when the hydration is at least 75%. It's so much easier to not have to mix the salt in later.
      I had taken the levain out. I realized it mid mix that I was doing the autolyse and I put it away again :)
      The autolyse got around an hour :)

    • @Foodgeek

      The reason we autolyse before mixing the dough is because the autolyse helps develop the gluten without starting fermentation, so we can get a head start on great gluten in the dough.
      So doing the opposite doesn't really have any positive sides :)

    How about testing how long preheating the combo cooker bottom plays in the oven spring/the crust on the bottom of the loaf. Probably going to be a fair amount of work though with only one cooker especially if you throw in the baking steel variable.

    @Automedon2 4 года назад

    If you think about it, the temperature should be the same under the cover as in the oven, maybe even higher, since it's not affected by the oven door being opened. There wouldn't be much moisture in the air at that point, so I can't think why it should be different.

    It seemed the crumb was tighter in the third loaf that was covered, and the crumb in the second loaf was the best, close to the first. Lately, I’ve been baking cold, cold, cold with great results.

    • @Foodgeek
      @Foodgeek  4 года назад +1

      Yes, it does seem like the covering may affect the tightness of the crumb. Maybe it's because it starts to collapse again after it grew initially. I am thinking I will try to devise an experiment that looks into that :)

I have a separate fridge I could set the temp higher at, maybe 40f-50f? I think the cold is killing it. I still have air in my loafs too after baking, last run there was almost too much.

      I also add salt to my autolyse. It’s crazy the false instructions people give out. I add it because I want the salt fully incorporated and because I don’t want to forget it. Also when making regular bread salt is always added in the recipe with no ill effects. There are a lot of bad instructions on the web and in books. Sourdough is just another bread, albeit with a steep learning curve.

      Ardy Hagen I wonder if you, or she, is cutting into it while it’s still too hot... the moisture needs to be allowed to spread evenly throughout loaf, so it’s best to wait until it’s cooled before cutting. I wait at least 45 minutes now, after ruining a couple of loaves with my impatience.

    If I uncover my loaves at 20 minutes in, they tend to burn slightly and prematurely seal the top, preventing potential oven spring. I tend to prefer 30 minutes covered and 5-10 minutes uncovered. I've never given a full 45 minutes as you do, Sune, as my bread always seems to be on its way to burning before that. I use a 4qt Staub dutch oven in a newer Samsung oven.
