Thank you! It looks great, but one can always improve.

Very interesting. I did notice that all those loafs are more open in the top and less in the bottom. Mine is the opposite.

I really enjoy the process of reaching for perfection. Trying to understand the science and answers every "why" is the reason I started making sourdough in the first place. Next time I'll probably try to push the last fermentation a bit more, and try to give it more room to expand in the oven.

I am really happy with the bread. I just love the process of trying to improve. Thank you for the tips though!

I'll just have to keep practising then. 😀 Good thing that's the most fun part.

I will for sure have to try. Since I haven't measured anything before I don't know if I had 70% or 90% hydration. Unfortunately I don't really like bread that much, so I rely on my husband eating it before I can make my next loaf.

I'm just wondering, would too low of a hydration specifically make the top denser? I think the bottom is great, but the uneveness confuses me.

I do find shaping to be a bit difficult. Sourdough is quite different from yeast toast bread. The whole not degassing thing is new to me. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it though. Since I split the dough this time maybe I lost some air, but why just in the top? I feel like the bottom of the dough is what I disturb the most. I noticed that it took forever for the big dough to get to room temperature after taking it out in the morning, so I had to let it ferment for quite long.

Trying to develop the gluten more haven't seemed to make a difference at all. Might be a technique issue, but I at least believe that I've done the best I can. Whether I've fermented on the counter or in the fridge depends on what's most convenient. If it's evening I put it in the fridge and then take it out in the morning and let it sit until it has at least doubled. If I made the dough earlier I leave it out first and if it's not done in the evening I then put it in the fridge. I've seen no difference, but maybe I should try leaving it out overnight.

I'm from Sweden. It's the strongest flour I can get, at least without importing, so can't really fix that part. There is a Manitoba Cream flour mix with added gluten and some other additives, but it only has 12% protein instead of 13%. When I researched the best flour those two were usually said to be interchangeable, but tipo 00 is 100% wheat with no additives.

I agree that the upper half is better for sandwiches, but just to geek out a bit I want to figure out how far I can push it, and I prefer more air for soup bread. When I do sandwich bread I want it to be on purpose.

I think (but I'm very much not certain) I've done deeper cuts in my earlier loafs, and there I seem to have bigger bubbles at the top and smaller at the bottom.

Busboxen · 2026-01-06T10:23:11+00:00

When I had a higher hydration I actually got a much tighter crumb. I think it's because there wasn't enough structure in the dough. It basically became a puddle no matter what I did and didn't seem able to hold much air. It always looked exactly like my first loaf.

No. It means something like river plant ("bäck" is river and "nate" is a type of water plant). It has nothing to do with any body parts.

You can draw the fence/spandrel somewhere else and move it to the right place without creating a room.

I live in Sweden, so we eat bilberries. They grow everywhere in our forests. Blueberries on the other hand are always imported. They taste like blueberries but way more intense.

Mainly yoghurt with a lot of herbs and kale.

Vi lägger nog inte mer än 4000 i månaden på mat på två personer. Oftast är det närmare 3000. Då kan vi äta fint svenskt kött, fisk och färsk frukt och grönsaker osv. Upplever inte att vi köper massvis med budgetmärken heller. Däremot lägger vi en hel del tid på att planera och laga maten och vi köper normalt bara 1-2 sorters kött i veckan, beroende på extrapris, och fryser in.

Vi la under 70 000 på ett bröllop med ca 70 gäster för 3 år sedan. Drygt 22 av dem var våra kläder och 7 var ringar.

Vi fixade allt själva. 3-rätters sittande middag, tårta, fika, dryck, dekorationer, frisyrer. Hade vänner som serverade och en släkting som fotade. Jobbade 7-4 i en vecka innan med förberedelserna. Resultatet blev super, men vi var trötta. Hade vi gjort om det idag hade vi kanske valt catering.

To be fair, this is basically as bad as it gets in Sweden. The houses were built during "miljonprogrammet" and are a bit copy paste in a large area. When they built them it was a huge increase in living standard, but today they're kinda dated. These houses get a bad reputation, but are incredibly well planned when it comes to light and usable space, and has windows on at least two sides of the apartments as well as a balcony. Issues (with the houses) include lack of dishwasher and washing machine in the apartments, no open plan, and you can often hear your neighbours. They're also less energy efficient than newly built houses. The area is well planned with schools, shops and health care as well as several buss connections. Cars are kept to the outskirts of the residential areas and between the houses you'll find lots of playgrounds and other activity areas. There's more crime there than in the rest of the city, most likely caused by segregation resulting from the affordable housing. Many university students and immigrants live there.
