I mixed it up a bit this weekend. I did the usual #sourdough bread and later I tried out King Arthur's Giant Hostess Cupcake Cake. Both are tasty in their own ways.

The crumb.

This is my go-to score at the moment. I've seen is called a diagonal Saucisson scoring.
I like the look, but also it tends to guide the expansion of the dough towards the ends giving a more consistent slice size.
I could have done a better job splitting the dough into 2 loaves
#sourdough

On the boule, I decided to season with the seasonings from the ranch recipe I have. It's a ranch #sourdough. The batard is my go to recipe.
The bake smelled great! I can't wait to cut it.

I wanted to do something a little different than the usual. Made one loaf with blueberries and the other Cheddar. #sourdough #blueberries #cheddar

My #sourdough loaves for the week.

Starter 177g
Flours: 965g
Bread 965g
Water 624g
Olive oil 15g
Salt 20g
Two 900g loaves

Mixing it with some yeast and warm water, getting a good kneading with the stand mixer. I went from dough mixing to oven in about 90 minutes. Baked at 500 degrees on a pizza steel in a Lloyd pan, I was pleased with the results.

I had a craving for some Detroit style pizza. But didn't have time to do it right, so I used some refrigerated #sourdough starter to give the crust a little boost of flavor.

Super Fudgy Sourdough Brownies As easy as they are decadent, these wildly chocolatey sourdough brownies will satisfy chocolate lovers and sourdough bakers alike. Add this to your repertoire of sourdough discard recipes.

So one of the problems with #sourdough is "wasted" flour from discard. If you are in the mood for brownies, this is a good recipe if you like a fudge-like brownie.

Looks delicious!

I was in the line to have Lasher signed and on the spur of the moment I asked her to sign Private Parts. She laughed and said, "Sure". She asked "where?" and I said "across the picture."

I'm fairly certain I am the only person with Private Parts printing, signed by Anne Rice.
So back in 1993, I went to a book store in Lexington because Anne Rice was doing a book signing promoting Lasher. I bought her book and decided to pick up Howard Stern's Private Parts.

Made a double #chocolate #sourdough #bread. I can't wait to cut into it.

#sourdough #bread
I agree

I always cold ferment which does help getting blisters. You should have heard it crackling and popping after I pulled out of the oven

I was trying out a French cut with my latest bake.
It looks like it forced the oven spring towards the ends of the loaf. It seems like I may end up with more consistent bread slices compared to a single long score of the loaf. #sourdough

I like to think of it as putting them to bed. 💤💤

Turning the last 30 minutes of my #sourdough bake into 12 seconds. It's difficult to film the oven spring through cast iron. 😀 I'm never as happy with the bread if I don't use a Dutch oven to bake.

I did do my weekly bread, but I'd been craving #sourdough cinnamon rolls ever since I got my healthy starter. #kingarthur
I used a King Arthur Flour recipe.
The recipe says cut into 12 rolls but I do wish I would have cut into 9 rolls. I like bigger rolls.😋

They look great!

Latest #sourdough loaves.
I'm creeping down the hydration and trying to make the crumb a bit tighter.

Tiktok being back isn't necessarily good news.

This one hurts.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

I like to do a cold proof overnight. It's easier to score and I think it develops a bit more flavor.

For covering for the cold proof I usually use disposable shower caps. You can reuse them for a while.
