SOURDOUGH ATTEMPT #?

May 2, 2020 This is after having my sourdough starter sleep in the fridge, i brought it back to life, keep feeding it something like 50g starter 50g whole wheat flour 50g white (been pastry) flour 100g water at 80F I haven’t been super consistent, but it seems to revive quickly so today I fed it around 10 am and am waiting for it to hit a good peak

INGREDIENTS:

768g of cake and pastry flour (this is from famous foods) 164g of light rye flour (from famous foods) 635g of water at 80F 172g levain 22g salt autolyse at 12:30pm

water and flour for 2 hours (because pastry flour does not have as much gluten) 2:30 PM added levain that was at its peak nice and big let that sit for 20 minutes mixed the salt and lil water into the dough if needed, kinda kneaded it and folded it in until kind of smooth (USE WET HANDS ALL THROUGHOUT!) 

bulk ferment

3:00 PMnow let it sit somewhere warm for 30 minutes and do the first stretch and fold do a second stretch and fold 30 minutes after the first 3:30 PM Let rest for 2ish hours I let it rest unti 7 pm so it was about 2 1/2 hours resting/

split dough using a knife, shaped into boules the dough is really wet sticky and like ya idk at this point but not bad!

i have two tea towels by my standard wet, covered in whole wheat flour, dumped the boules in and I am going to let proof in fridge over night and will hopefully bake around 7/8am in the morning 450F preheat oven and dutch oven in oven

Score the dough USING EXACTO KNIFE and load it into the Dutch oven; then, bake for 20 minutes covered. After this time, remove the lid, lower the temp to 350F and finish baking for 30-35 minutes or until done.  this worked pretty well, the second loaf i left out then tried to put onto parchment was like a glob and idonno what happened it was good but didn’t rise quite like the other

this time they did cook fully inside, when i used the lowering of temp with the lid off, and nice bubbles formed!! 

The internal temp should be around 205-210°F (96-99°C)

NOTE:

I think I want to try using more salt next time.  Also more sour flav somehow.

violet gingerbeer

April 12, 2020

INGREDIENTS 158g ginger 11 cups water 1/4 cup dandelion pedals 1/4 lavender 2 cups white sugar yeast (probably renaissance) SPECIFIC GRAVITY

April 12 1.065SG April 18 1.02 SG 

PROCESS boil, cool, strain, pitch FIN/NOTES

this was pretty strong gingery, the dandelion and lavender kind of added a bitterness to it which wasn’t bad.  Because the gravity fell more than half it wasn’t very sweet, I didn’t back sweeten.  I bottled on the 18th, drank some on 420 n shiet.  It was aiiight! nothing special.

AJ bluebb

probably like April 12 YA! it was thomas rememberance day

INGREDIENTS sunrype apple juice this was a shitter idk what i done did  probably like 1 cup white sugar jesus didnt even write the yeast probably renaissance?? added 1 tsp elderberries to secondary/ about 3/4 cup squished frozen DSA blueberries to secondary

SPECIFIC GRAVITY

April 18 1.056SG May 2 1.00SG May 16 1.000 back sweetened two bottled with 1/4cup of the lilac syrup I made May 16 1.010

PROCESS idk transferred to secondary got rid of lees on May 2 and added blueberries and elderberries the flavour is starting to come through a bit, I am going to let it sit longer. I will add another tsp of elderberries FIN/NOTES

bottled, after blueberries and elderberries sat for two weeks, it had a nice flavour, a hint of lbueberries is coming out.  I bottled half as is, and then half I backsweetened with lilac syrup...the final result was shit it has an intense yeasty after taste, it was better with Liliac syrup added vs without and ya I think perhaps there was natural yeast on the blueberries that may have added to this flavour as I didn’t take them out then re rack and let age I think I bottled with a surplus of new yeast

MUSTARD whole seeds

April 21

2/3 cups of whole yellow mustard seeds 1/2 cup green tea kombucha starter 1/3 cup white wine vinegar 1/2 cup cold water let this sit over night in mason jar covered with plastic wrap to get em nice and plump take about 118ml of this aside, take the rest add sugar if you want (taste it) mustard powder, tumeric, onion powder  1-2 tbsp of the seasons and 1 1/4 tsp of salt combine with rest of mixture and let sit at room temp to age ... GOODLUCK!

I let them sit for 8 days at room temp then into the fridge!  really nice, not too spicy....

I did another batch of this, I can’t really remember when

I used the same amounts of things, to clairfy the 118ML is to blend and then you combine with the rest of the mixture... play around with the spices can’t really go wrong! I think this one I did 3tsp tumeric 3 tsp onion powder and 3tsp of mustard or something, I thought it’d be too tumericy but it aint !!!

SOURDOUGH

Although it is Passover, I have been building up a sourdough starter and I wanted to give a shot at a proper bread this weekend.  Two weeks ago I fumbled around the kitchen, trying to understand the steps needed to make a bread, not following a recipe using my own ratios, a lack of good ingredients and I think now that I have a healthy starter, a lack of a healthy starter.  Cool thing though, the bread was made with a starter made from yeast from my first mead.  I did not manage to salvage any.  I’ll try to make one again when I transfer my mead :)

So I’ve been feeding my starter I think almost two weeks now, I needed a break last week from attempting bread. So I think my starter is about 10 days old. It’s been having some great activity, I’ll post some pictures soon.

I fed it last night probably around eight so twelve hours ago.  I am going to start with autolyse... 

INGREDIENTS:

766g of westpoint organic white flour unbleached 162g of organic whole wheat flour from everland (milled from 100% hard wheat) 635g of water at 80F 172g levain  19g salt had 50g extra water availble to put in/use on hands autolyse 

water and flour for 1 hours added levain that was at its peak nice and big let that sit for 20 minutes mixed the salt and lil water into the dough, kinda kneaded it and folded it in until kind of smooth

bulk ferment

now let it sit somewhere warm for 30 minutes and do the first stretch and fold do a second stretch and fold 30 minutes after the first Let rest for 2ish hours then the dough rised kinda bubbly! and I divided it out on a lightly floured surface kinda shaped it to two balls, I am going to let sit and then shape into a boule them 

proof for 4 - 24hrs (4hrs warm/room temp - min 12hrs for fridge) at around 7 pm get ready to bake!

450F preheat oven and dutch oven in oven

Score the dough and load it into the Dutch oven; then, bake for 20 minutes covered. After this time, remove the lid and finish baking for 30-35 minutes or until done. The internal temp should be around 205-210°F (96-99°C)

So I baked it 20 min then 25 min at 450 and it burnt, internal temp at 208F like fuuuck one of the breads got stuck to my sheet.. i need proper towels for this, I am going to try and proof it and then just cook it the last hour I am up FML this is retarded and hard SOS

NOTE:

I fed my starter at 8 this morning and it is bubbling over 12 hours later, so next time prep the start like 12 hours before
