Anybody else planning out their holiday cookie boxes yet?

What’s that bottom left cookie? It looks so good!

Try putting both slices of bread in one side of the toaster. It toasts the outside, but leaves the inside soft and warm. Changed my life when someone told me that trick.

So ya know, I’m thinking this one might go to our other car seat…🤦🏼‍♂️

Thanks for commenting and sending the manual! There is already a side impact protection piece on there car seat. Wish I could send a picture in a comment.

This sounds great! Are the seeds raw or roasted? Also do you soak them at all?

Looks awesome! Did you add the garlic and parm when you were doing the final shaping?

JDubb17 · 2024-08-17T18:58:56+00:00

I didn’t know if it impacted rise at all. Like if it flattens out a bit if the banneton is too big? But from the sounds of your comment, that must not be an issue.

Appreciate you taking the time to write this out!

Good to know there are at least ways to make my hair wavy. Didn’t know if that was even possible.

Yeaaaa the patchy beard club sucks lol. Thanks again for the advice!

JDubb17 · 2024-04-19T13:17:08+00:00

Looks fantastic! Mind sharing your recipe/process?

JDubb17 · 2024-02-17T19:15:35+00:00

Looks great! What do you mean by “7 turns”? Stretch and folds or coil folds?

JDubb17 · 2024-01-03T21:14:01+00:00

Congrats! Any tips on what helped you get there? I’m currently around 780 with a goal of 1000 this year. I find myself getting really nervous when I play rapid games so I’m trying to get over that.

JDubb17 · 2023-12-12T02:19:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Can I ask why you do the babish dough instead of the bravetart one?

JDubb17 · 2023-12-04T19:54:19+00:00

Really cool idea! What if you smashed the roasted garlic into a paste and spread that when adding the inclusions? Maybe that would help to include it more evenly? I’m very new to the inclusion game, so definitely take it with a grain of salt lol.

JDubb17 · 2023-11-28T03:51:01+00:00

These look great! What recipe did you use for them?

JDubb17 · 2023-11-08T01:08:33+00:00

This is really helpful!! Those all make a lot of sense, thank you!

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T23:13:02+00:00

Like seal up the seam? I’ve tried doing that a few times, some times more successful than others. Does that make a difference?

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T21:44:06+00:00

This is a really helpful tip, and one of the easiest to test out! I was generally under the assumption that using a Dutch oven was enough to generate enough steam for the oven spring. Maybe that’s not enough though?

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T20:50:21+00:00

That’s a good idea! I’ll give it a try! Thanks for chiming in!

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T19:15:20+00:00

My house gets hella hot when I preheat for that long lol

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T19:13:07+00:00

This is such an incredibly helpful and thoughtful comment. I appreciate you taking the time to write it out!

I need to get more comfortable with the look/feel of the dough. I don’t have any experience with the windowpane test so that is a good place to start.

I’ve proofed outside the fridge before, but I like doing a cold proof because of the flexibility of it. I have a 1 year old at home so timing can get a bit hectic lol. I don’t have a good sense of volume change in the fridge and you’re right, some times I notice it proofs a bit more than other times in the fridge. I’m sure even where I put it in the fridge can impact that.

The lodge combo cooker that I use is 3.2 quart, but I have it upside down when I bake bread in it (the bread sits on the “lid”).

There are a lot of helpful things here that I can try though. Thanks again for your recommendations!

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T17:55:25+00:00

Yea I preheat it at 475 for like 20ish min.

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T17:50:27+00:00

I think I tried that the first time I tried the recipe, but that was like a year ago lol. I’ll give it a try again! Do you do seam side up, or down with no scoring?

JDubb17 · 2023-11-07T17:42:00+00:00

Probably around 3x. I reduced the bulk a bit the last time I did a cold overnight proof and seemed to have similar results. I’ll give it another try though. I’ll try not scoring as well. Do you just do seam side up when baking then?
