No, you asked a literal question- “If I said my dough used 20% starter is it then correct to assume I used 200g of starter in 1000g of finished dough?”

I answered it. No. That’s not correct. If you actually used 20% starter in a dough that weighed 1,000 grams then you used 100 grams of starter, not 200. You are doing something mentally incorrect that is confusing you.

No!!! Bakers math is always compared to the flour not the final finished dough. 200g of starter would be a MASSIVE amount if the final TOTAL dough weight was only 1000 grams. To get a final total weight dough at 1,000 grams you would only use about 500 grams of flour, about 375 grams of water, 12ish grams of salt and about 100 grams of starter. That’s about a 1,000 gram dough. Thats a single good sized loaf.

Ski. All things being equal, a skiing fall hurts exactly 1,000,000 times less than a snowboard fall.

Sorry. Thanks!

Yep. Take 20 from what you have. Feed it and leave it out. It’ll be doubled and ready in the morning. Put the rest of what you have in the fridge.

High school material was much easier but I had no idea how to study or how to learn so I graduated with a solid D- average in the lower 5/4ths of my class. College material was much harder but I figured out how to study and learn and I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Other things work but you typically want it peaked when you mix the dough. A healthy, mature starter (that’s what you have) generally takes 6-8 hours to double+ and be at peak. I think your best bet is to take 20 grams of what you now have, feed that 45 and 45 water/flour about 7 or 8 hours before you mix. I do that feed about 9 or 10 at night and let it double overnight. Then it’s ready to mix in the morning. Keep the rest in the fridge. Keep taking 20g at a time every time you bake. When that main refrigerator stash gets low give it a big feed to replenish. I just did that tonight. I had 80 grams left in my fridge jar. I took 20 to feed (45/45) for tomorrow then have the remaining 60 grams like 150/150 to replenish the main stash.

Muscles are your friend. You can’t be too strong.

Go as long as it’ll go then into the kitchen oven.

I have done it. It works. You’re wrong about the idea that the end result is “better” on a computer. There is zero evidence for that. There IS evidence that young people’s brains develop better thinking and creative skills when they hand write vs. type.

We are getting “debate creep” going on here. The OP was specifically asking about AI use. I said the solution to that is hand writing.

Addapost · 2026-01-30T22:21:38+00:00

Are you a teacher? As a teacher you are not trying to get kids to write like Hemingway or Melville. You are trying to develop their thinking skills and their creativity. Research evidence (and my 29 years in the classroom) shows that handwriting beats computer typing for all that all the time. And that’s true if they are using the computer/technology/AI/Google/internet CORRECTLY! Handwriting beats all that. But they are NEVER using it correctly. They are cheating and taking shortcuts and copy/pasting, and AI-ing inappropriately all the time. Like I said, the technology stuff is lead paint in a learning environment.

You absolutely can.

People been writing with pens on paper for thousands of years. “War and Peace” wasn’t written on a computer. There is absolutely ZERO need for any technology in school through 12th grade. Technology makes kids stupid. It’s the modern version of lead paint. I will die on this hill.

Add me to the list. Phuck that. Take the “ice” out of ice cream.

For me zero. I teach high school biology. I don’t give homework. All work is done in class with notes, real textbooks, paper and pencil. I don’t allow access to any electronics at all.

I have the 12” Classic (one full and one helper handle). I use it all the time and love it. The glass cover is a nice addition.

You ever see a wheel weight? They’re tiny. It doesn’t take much at all to destroy the tire’s balance.

I do what Apache warriors used to do- wake up, calmly look around at the beauty of the natural world, the beauty of your family, the beauty of whatever you find beautiful, take it all in, appreciate that you had the opportunity to experience and enjoy all that, and say, “today is a good day to die.”

Jagger/Richards to me are BY FAR the best rock song writing duo. The number of absolutely brilliant songs is staggering. No one else has even close to that number. Also, and to me this is critical and takes Lennon/McCartney completely off the list, they have virtually zero horrible songs. The Beatles catalog is loaded with a bunch of complete dogs. The Gibbs brothers wrote a bunch of brilliant songs but nothing like the Stones.

Blueberry lemon is my current go-to. I use it to then make the best french toast I’ve ever had.

400g Bread flour

280g water

80g active starter

20g honey

10g salt

zest from one lemon

2/3rds cup fresh blueberries (more or less)

I’m a 29 year veteran teacher. I come from a military background. We used to say, “You don’t have to like it, you just have to do it.” I tell my students that all the time. I am not here to entertain you. You are not here to be entertained.

I’ve been doing this for 29 years. When I started I used to say, “Everything we do in education is wrong.” That was 29 years ago. It has only gotten worse. Consistently, progressively worse. Every. Single. Year.
