I like to look at bread
and visit bread blogs. Luckily there are a lot of good blogs on bread. Luckily
most of them have good recipes. Some of them have non-fail recipes. You know
the recipes you don’t have even have to check.
Yesterday I found an
interesting recipe of local bread I wanted to bake for the Bread Baking Day
#69. When I added the flour to the water and sourdough it hit me. It was wrong!
The description said “very wet dough” and mine was almost dry?? I immediately
checked the amounts and 57% is no hydration for wet dough! I did my best to correct
it, but it was a failure.
Wisdom for today: next
time I check the recipe before I run into my kitchen! J
Yesterday evening I didn’t
feed the sourdough and I decided to use dried yeast. I found a nice recipe I
used before with 69% hydration. I changed the shape a little bit and here they
are: beautiful soft rolls.
