Jan ThieNot the most practical <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bread</a> but I was in a playful mood. The dough is an adaptation of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RichardBertinet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RichardBertinet</a>'s olive oil dough but I gave it a slight twist and had fun with the final shaping.500gr strong bread flour 320gr water 15gr fresh yeast 10gr salt 50gr olive oil 100gr candied fruit peelBaking: 20 minutes with the lid on (and an ice-cube inside the pan) at 220°C/428°F, and 20 minutes without lid at 210°C/410°F (the last 5 minutes with the oven door slightly ajar.)<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a>

Jeff MarkelI baked 4 loaves of sourdough bread this morning. I was flabbergasted to see that I hadn't baked any sourdough loaves since last November - more than 5 months! I know there was was a focaccia in there somewhere, but still, no actual loaves of bread.Anyway, I still know how - they appear to have come out well, though none have been sliced yet, so we'll see. But they do look nice 😆 The dough: flours: * 70% King Arthur Baking Special Patent Flour * 25% Breadtopia Organic Wholegrain Rouge de Bordeaux wheat (milled with a Mockmill 100) * 5% Breadtopia Organic Wholegrain Rye (milled with a Mockmill 100) 74% water 25% liquid levain (100% hydration) 2.1% Kosher saltOverall hydration ~77%Process: Autolyse the flours for 2 hours. Add levain and do Rubaud-method hand mixing for 5 minutes. Rest dough for 30 minutes. Add the salt and do Rubaud-method hand mixing for 5 minutes. Rest dough for 30 minutes. Perform 1 set of strong stretch-and-folds. Rest dough for 30 minutes. Dump dough onto countertop, stretch as large as possible without tearing. "Laminate" the dough by folding it over on itself multiple times. Let rise in container for 45 minutes. Perform 1 set of coil folds. Let rise another 45 minutes. Perform a 2nd set of coil folds. Let rise another 30 minutes. Perform 3rd and final set of coil folds. Let dough continue rising for another 40 minutes. Turn out dough onto countertop, divide and pre-shape. Let rest for 20 minutes. Final shape into batards, placed in 8" / 20 cm bannetons. Final dough temp 77 F / 25 C. Cover with plastic bags and cold-retard in a 36 F / 2 C refrigerator for 18 hours. Bake: Preheat oven and Challenger Bread Pans at 550 F / 288 C for an hour. Reduce temp to 475 F / 246 C. Mist loaves with water and cover, baking in enclosed baking pans (with steam) for 20 minutes. Remove the covers, reduce heat to 450 F / 232 C and bake uncovered for 25 minutes<a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/artisanbread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artisanbread</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/baker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#baker</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/wolfgangsmockmill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wolfgangsmockmill</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#baking</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/bakingbread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bakingbread</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/bread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bread</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/breadbaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadbaking</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/breadtopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadtopia</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/breadmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadmaking</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/breadporn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadporn</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/rye" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rye</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/kingarthurflour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kingarthurflour</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/levain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#levain</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/rougedebordeaux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rougedebordeaux</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/naturallyleavened" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#naturallyleavened</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/realbread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#realbread</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/sourdough" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sourdough</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/sourdoughbaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sourdoughbaking</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/sourdoughbread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sourdoughbread</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/sourdoughstarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sourdoughstarter</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/sourtothepeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sourtothepeople</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/theperfectloaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theperfectloaf</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/wildyeast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildyeast</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/opencrumbmastery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opencrumbmastery</a> <a href="https://mastochist.social/tags/challengerbreadpan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#challengerbreadpan</a>

Jan ThieProbably the prettiest sourdough bread I ever baked. It's for giving away, so I won't be able to check the crumb but it looks all right, and it had a proper oven rise, which is a sign of a happy dough.I baked it, as usual, in my oven bread pan; 20 minutes with the lid on (and an ice-cube thrown in for steaming purposes) and 25 minutes without the lid. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Sourdough" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Sourdough</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HomeBaked" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeBaked</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HomeBakedBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeBakedBread</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MakeYourOwnBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MakeYourOwnBread</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Bread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bread</a>

Jan ThieMore bread baking, and this is one of my all-time favourites: Richard Bertinet's lavender & honey wholemeal bread - but this time I baked it in my new oven bread pan, and that made a real difference. This bread has never looked so good. I baked it 15 minutes with the lid on, and then 20 without.

Jan ThieMore bread baking and experimenting with the new bread pan. Ingredients:350gr water 300gr spelt flour 200gr strong bread flour 200gr dried apricot 10gr fresh yeast 10gr salt OatsAgain I baked it in the closed pan* for 20 minutes and another 20 minutes without the lid; both at 220°C/428°F. I like my crust dark; if you prefer it lighter, bake the 2nd part at 200°C/392°F. (The oven was preheated to 250°C/482°F.)<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpeltFlour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SpeltFlour</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FruitBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FruitBread</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a>*with added ice-cube for steaming.

Jan ThieThe first breads baked in my new cast-iron bread pan. A simple no-knead baguette dough but I made two regular size breads with it (filled with cheese and cardamom.) I had to guess at oven times but 15 minutes with lid (with an added ice-cube for steam) and 15 minutes without lid did the trick.I preheated the oven with the bread pan inside to 250°C/482°F and when the bread went in, I turned it down to 220°C/428°F.The breads look nice enough.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BaguetteDough" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BaguetteDough</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CheesyBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CheesyBread</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a>

Jan ThieThe cat is obviously ready.(I'm not though; I'm still building up a new sourdough starter, because the old one has gone weird. For the nerds: not smelly, or discoloured or in any other sense odd; it just won't get active when I add warm water and rye flour... and yes, I haven't changed the way I do this and I have an electric proofer for controlling the temperature*).*I even checked that with the kitchen thermometer.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CatsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SourdoughStarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SourdoughStarter</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SleepingCat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SleepingCat</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LapCat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LapCat</a>

Jan ThieFile under 'insane extravaganza' - for yes, I have done it again..... but I will put this to good use. It is designed for baking sourdough bread but it will also come in extremely handy for my outdoor oven. Still, I can't pretend I really needed this. I just really wanted it. (It's a good thing that I don't wear earrings, since I love cast-iron more than I like silver or gold - which would have been rather painful.)<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Cast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Cast</a>-Iron <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SourdoughBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SourdoughBread</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ChallengerBreadPan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChallengerBreadPan</a>

CalcitestarGoing to enjoy a slice of this for lunch.
