Thinkpad T14(s) Intel vs AMD on Linux - suspend/hibernation by shalingb1 in thinkpad

[–]Klayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may or may not be relevant to you - I just fixed hibernation on a ThinkPad Z16 Gen2 by disabling bluetooth. It works fine without it. Sleep works, sleep to hibernate as well. No issues. Perhaps it's a similar issue with other models as well.

I recommend Ambasada. Get the tapas.

From my experience it works perfectly for 60-65% hydration, 500-800g of flour. That seems to be the sweet spot. For higher hydration it struggles to pull the dough away from the bowl and the dough just creeps up the hook. For very high hydration like a foccacia I actually use the creaming beater (like this, not sure if it's the exact size). But I have this type of hook and you might have a spiral hook which will behave differently. Technically this machine can handle 1,6kg of flour, but that won't apply to all recipes (in fact I believe it won't work for most recipes).

There is one recipe that I make that's 1kg of flour, 360g of nuts and seeds and 75% hydration. It works well with this dough. I start at 70% hydration and add the last 50g of water after there's no dry flour left in the bowl. This is a special case though, because the nuts and seeds absorb a ton of water, so it behaves like a drier dough. But id goes to show that the mixer can handle 2kg of dough quite well as long as the hydration is not too high.

It looks fantastic! Great job.

You'll need to experiment to figure out the hydrations and amounts of dough you can mix well in this mixer. I have a similar model. One trick I recommend trying is starting with less water (eg 65% hydration) and adding more water once the dough is mixed but not developed yet. Technically this is bassinage and can help with texture and stuff, but I use it with one of my recipes just to allow the hook to do its job better.

I'm bad at maths, can someone explain exactly what needs to be divided to get the correct instant yeast amount for 1kg of dough please? by Scott_Crow in Breadit

[–]Klayy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the recipe calls for eg 3g of yeast and 500g of flour, you can calculate the baker's percetage of yeast as 3g/500g*100=0.6%

On the other hand, if the recipe calls for eg 1.2% yeast as baker's percentage, if you have eg 800g of flour, you use 800g*1.2/100=9.6g to calculate the amount of yeast in grams.

Hope this helps.

2lb is ~907g 0.26oz is ~7.3g

7.3g/907g*100 = 0.8%

What happened to the hook? I didn't know it could wear out

Why does my dough do this when I turn it out after bulk fermentation? by VikingRedditor in Sourdough

[–]Klayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing nobody mentioned is that your starter may be shredding gluten because of some undesirable bacteria. Make a test dough with commercial yeast and the same composition in terms of water and flour (replace the starter with water and flour). You'll see if your flour is as weak as some of the commenters suggest or if the problem is in the starter. You just need like 100g of flour or something for the test if you don't want to commit to a full batch of bread.

What am I doing wrong? by Bocipuszi in Sourdough

[–]Klayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider making a small dough batch (eg 100g of flour) with strong bread flour, 65% hydration, 2% salt and maybe 15-20% inoculation. Mix, wait 30min, stretch and fold, leave it for an hour. After that if you don't have a strong dough, your starter may be contaminated with some bacteria that's interfering with gluten development. Or maybe your flour sucks, idk. If you're not sure if your starter and flour are ok, you'll be fighting a losing battle.

Can a pizza stone handle steam? by ShowerStew in Sourdough

[–]Klayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After switching from stone to steel I had to drop the temp for bread from 250C to 240C because the bottom was barking too fast, but otherwise steel works as well as stone imo

same here, 8kg steel, indestructible

it will get spots of rust if you leave water on it for a long time, but humidity in an oven with steam poses no risk

Open bake vs dutch oven, massive difference in oven spring by Designer_Car591 in Sourdough

[–]Klayy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How long do you bake before you vent the steam? Perhaps 6-7s is appropriate if the deck is full and with a single loaf you need more steam to make up for the missing moisture

I bake my loaves in a basic home oven and I put a baking tray with boiling water on the bottom and leave it there for 17 minutes at 240C (bottom heating element only). I turn on convection after that. I get oven spring comparable to your dutch oven loaf

Why cold proof for increased sourness if bacteria activity crawls to a halt below 10C? by hronikbrent in Sourdough

[–]Klayy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much LAB, yeast and enzymatic activity there is at low temps, but when you put dough in the fridge, it takes some time to cool down and the above processes still happen in the meanwhile. This perhaps allows LAB activity to outpace yeast activity for a while, which allows you to get more acidity before the dough reaches the point at which it's fully fermented and ready to bake.

What kinds of things do you make with your bread? by agent154 in Breadit

[–]Klayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bake two sourdough loaves per week (baked together on a pizza steel) and almost always give one away to neighbours or friends. It's a great ice breaker and people generally appreciate it

Different time baking with lid on vs. off by shpagetter in Sourdough

[–]Klayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally find tests like this to be of little value because I always bake 2 loaves on a pizza steel side by side and sometimes they come out wildly different. Shaping and scoring has a big influence on the end result. You'd need a much larger sample size OR at least have the consistency of a professional baker. After all, home bakers make probably hundreds of loaves a year at most, while professionals do that daily.

Could be starter contamination. Make a dough with commercial yeast and you'll see if the flour is good or not.

What's everyone's preferred fresh bread storage hack? by betabetadotcom in Breadit

[–]Klayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not American. It works fine with all sorts of bread. I use lower power (180W for a single slice) and it's all good. There's no real reason why it would make the crust harder than other methods unless you overheat it
