humans use dish detergent to clean their dishes. I understand this is different from your culture. |

Date: May 24th, 2025 6:56 PM Author: soggy aromatic psychic native The point I was making, retard, is that you're a horrible photographer (still). This would be 10x more visually appealing if you took a moment to declutter behind it and align the camera so we're not looking at the grid at an angle. I don't understand why you put this much work into baking your own bread but won't take a minute to take a good photograph. Detergent in the background of a food photograph is one of the worst elements possible, because literally nobody wants detergent in their food.

he doesnt need some fancy camera rig lightbox setup like he's a pro food photog, but it's embarrassing and tacky as fuck not to make such a very minimal effort - we're talkign 2 seconds of effort. |

Date: May 24th, 2025 7:08 PM Author: Maize Self-absorbed Mother Theatre I want to see a cross section or I don't care, making a good looking rustic loaf isn't that hard but if you got the crumb right it would be impressive (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5729636&forum_id=2...id.#48959497) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2025 7:09 PM Author: topaz bateful temple https://i.imgur.com/gWBnIsq.jpeg
you should be able to "infer" the crumb just by looking at the outside of the crust, however. If you zoom in, you can see the amount of blistering on the crust, which is caused by both the steam in my oven (which is a bitch because I don't have a steam oven & instead use lava rocks + an inverted 8" basin + cooking steel) and the level of dough fermentation.
Here, the dough is fermented just about perfectly; this was made from a homemade starter (which I began on 4/22) and no additional yeast. Accordingly, the final dough had to ferment for approximately 10 hours at room temp. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2025 7:17 PM Author: Maize Self-absorbed Mother Theatre not bad, but also not terribly impressive, all dough has to rest for a long time that isn't a big deal, looks good though I just like a less dense crumb and you really can't infer that from a round rustic loaf, steam probably helps though, do you just use a dutch oven? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5729636&forum_id=2...id.#48959516) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2025 7:24 PM Author: topaz bateful temple I don't use a dutch oven. I use the following:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHF6C2RS (baking steel)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M6DQJDX (basin)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SXC698V (trays)
I put lava rocks in the trays (4 trays) which I preheat on the steel + parchment. Once preheated, I move the loaf to the steel and invert the basin over the loaf, trays, and steel after adding a bit of water to the trays. The trays produce steam for 20 min, after which I remove the trays and finish the loaf.
Artisan sourdough made in this fashion almost necessarily has a dense crumb at perfect fermentation. To get larger holes like in baguettes requires a different dough manipulation technique. Here, I just use stretch-and-folds to develop gluten. With baguettes, I use stretch-and-folds + the envelope method to help shape the baguettes during gluten formation. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2025 7:35 PM Author: Maize Self-absorbed Mother Theatre why not just get a cloche instead of all that steel (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5729636&forum_id=2...id.#48959550) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2025 7:37 PM Author: topaz bateful temple I'm essentially using the basin as a cloche. I'd still use the steel, anyway, because baking steels produce the absolute best results in a home oven. I've used pizza stones, the grill, cookie sheets, cast iron dutch ovens, ceramic baking dishes, etc. and literally nothing produces the oven spring I've seen with the method I use.

I'll show this weekend's results tomorrow-- I need to start my dough today. I re-activated the starter from the fridge on Thursday & Friday, gave it a normal feeding yesterday, and it's looking magnificent today. I'll just take 100g out and add 50g each of flour and water today and in about 7 hours I'll make the dough. It'll be ready to bake in the morning. |
