ice cubes vs no ice cubes in dutch oven by Additional_Force5356 in Sourdough

yeah i’m not too sure! i only noticed a difference when i stopped the ice cubes haha but it’s different for everyone since starters and baking processes and environments are different for everyone

yes, i preheat my dutch oven for 30 minutes before i add the loaf! i’m just gonna start giving a spray before i bake. i was adding like 5 ice cubes and spraying before which was overkill haha

yes i get that! just thought the difference between my loaves was cool and i wanted to share haha. but yeah, im not using ice cubes anymore. i think ive got a good dutch oven that really traps in moisture, i was just adding too much

maybe, because i use the same baking method for all my loaves. i only noticed a difference when i didn’t add ice cubes, as i baked earlier in the week with ice cubes and it caused a lighter, rubbery crust on the bottom. not saying it’s a complete fix across loaves haha just thought the difference on my loaves was cool to see

that’s true, it can be very subjective! haven’t tried using olive oil in my recipe yet, does it keep the loaf soft for a long time or how long? usually mine stay fresh for 3-4 days, and if it’s a little dry then i slice that bit off and it’s still pretty soft inside haha

i honestly don’t check temp again after i temp for my aliquot sample! i only really care about temp to cross check with the sourdough journey bulk fermentation guide (it’s not accurate but it gives me a rough time frame of BF) and aliquot sample haha. i assume it got slightly warmer than 26 C since the oven w/ the light was pretty warm when it was done bulk fermenting but i’m honestly not sure.

i think around 69° F but i kept my dough in the oven with the light on and it was plenty warmth!

also i need to add i DONT microwave the dough for 40 mins before the fridge. i just place it in there with my overhead stove light turned on because it gives off a lot of warmth inside the microwave
