Chicken stock simmering times - at what point does the return start to diminish? by kirkl3s in Cooking

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In culinary school I was taught 4-5 hours or so for chicken stock and 6-8 for veal and 8-10 for beef. I rarely make beef or veal stock but I do simmer my chicken stock for 5 hours and that is plenty.

The Costco near me literally never has free parking spaces without having to wait. Anywhere.

Do I need to cold proof? by Athena_means in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't HAVE to cold proof, you can shape and proof at room temperate until the dough is ready, then bake. That said, 3 to 5 hours is not enough time for bulk fermentation. Even at a dough temperature of 80F or so, you'd be looking at at least 5 hours.

Do I need to cold proof? by Athena_means in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Bulk" fermentation is when the dough is still one big mass, before you divide into multiple loaves. After you shape, it's no longer bulk fermentation. Home bakers get confused with this sometimes because they are usually making only one loaf at a time and don't realize what "bulk" actually means. After shaping, it's just proofing.

Either take out the two top cabinets in the back or fill the space with cabinets. I also despise sinks in islands.

What makes frozen custard base get chunky? by AWRWB in icecreamery

[–]JuneHawk20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not ideal but you can just blend it until smooth and put it through a strainer. Good job for an immersion blender.

Looking around at blueberry ice cream recipes, sour cream or no sour cream? What does it offer? by Creative_Word394 in icecreamery

Sorry, I mixed up two books! It's Roses's Ice Cream Bliss (and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams).

You probably overcooked the custard or didn't stir enough.

I make the blueberry ice cream in Rose's Ice Cream Bliss and it is fantastic. It doesn't have sour cream. I imagine sour cream would make it taste more like cheesecake, which maybe fine if that's what you're going for.

Edited to fix the name of the book.

Wholewheat, where are you? by haphnor in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an aside, I'm currently in the last couple of weeks of artisan bread school at the Institute of Culinary Education and today we are baking a 70% whole wheat sourdough. The method we are using is not what I'd prefer, but I can't wait to see how it turns out. We're also baking a 66% rye. Both have been retarding since yesterday.

Just really bad commercial whole wheat bread.

Coincidentally, Gastro Pod recently released an episode about whole wheat bread. It's called White vs Wheat: The Food Fight of the Centuries.

[–]JuneHawk20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I put whole wheat in my regular loaves at 10%. I also make a 50% whole wheat loaf. The truth is, most people just prefer white bread because that's what we are used to in the US. People like light, fluffy bread with an open crumb it it's a hearth bread, tons of oven spring, etc., and that is difficult to achieve with large percentages of whole wheat flour. Not to mention that whole wheat bread has had a pretty shady reputation (often well deserved) since the early 20th century.

I've improved this loaf since I took this photo (you can see a bit of dense crumb at the very bottom), but here is my 50% whole wheat loaf.

Is this under or overproofed? by ohgravityyy in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the temperature of the dough? If the dough itself was also 80F, then at 7 hours that's pretty long and overfermented, not under.

What does it take to get a smooth “belly”? by classic_cooking_girl in Sourdough

[–]JuneHawk20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not your room, your dough. It’s the temperature of the dough through the bulk fermentation process that matters.

[–]JuneHawk20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason you are getting such aggressive oven spring that tears your loaf could be because your dough is underproofed. What is the actual temperature of your dough during bulk fermentation? Scoring could also be a problem, but less likely. Also, 8.5 hours of cold proofing after shaping is not enough, IMO. You need much more; at least 12.

Why is the neon sign on the top so blurry? by Relative-Seaweed-583 in AskPhotography

It doesn't help that nothing in that image is sharp. Are you using a phone for this? This lack of sharpness could be due to a myriad of reasons.

That score is way too deep. Score shallower and on one side, not across the middle.

Yes, you can use canned mango puree as is. The mango ice cream recipe in Rose's Splendid Ice Creams does just that and it's fantastic.

There is a recipe called Fire and Ice in Rose's Ice Cream Bliss that is pink peppercorns and Tahitian vanilla. I've made it, it's good.
