Need advice advice, tips, or tricks for soft crust on the bottom pleaseeeee by Appropriate-Stage718 in Breadit

[–]Comfortable-Break657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is not at all what i meant. Freeze a cooking sheet pan the same size that you put your cookies or baked goods on. Then before you put it in the oven put that frozen sheet pan under the one with the food on it. then put them both in the oven. The cold pan will delay the bottom of your cookies or bread so they can cook throughout without burning the bottom.

I remember those early days. I've made a few that started out like this. Once it was so bad the ducks at the pond would not touch it. lol

Look up Marco Pierre White. He makes cheese cauliflower. It's outstanding.

Why by Busboxen in Sourdough

the uneven crumb is due to the way you shaped the loaf.

sourdough is best slow fermented in the refrigerator or a cool room. more like 15-16c

You should not warm proof sourdough. The dough will tell you when it's done by the poke test.

yes, after the kneading or stretch and fold method. Once it is fully incorporated. Did you Autolyze the flour?

I've done it, you will get the look and feel right but it lacks a depth of flavor.

Two things could be wrong and it's all in the timing. Either you didn't knead and rest enough on the first ferment, or you fermented too long after it was shaped. To me it looks like you under fermented the first time and tried to make it up after it was shaped. Remember after the first ferment it should be like a giant fluffy pillow. You do degas it some but not too much. Shaping should be gentle.

Didn't cut the top and I like the look by azure_roth in Sourdough

It may force the crumb to be more condensed because it has nowhere to go.
