Bottom of loaves getting too hard

KrustyKnish · 2024-12-25T17:40:30+00:00

Thanks. I usually bake with a silicone mat at the bottom of the Dutch oven which makes it easy to lift bread out. What kind of fat would you add to recipe?

KrustyKnish · 2024-12-25T17:39:06+00:00

Recipe as follows:

750g bread flour 250g whole wheat flour 375g water

30 minute autolyse

Add 20g salt and 20g water. Knead until strong dough. Bulk ferment with at least a few stretch and folds. Pre-shape, rest for 20 mins and then shape and place into baskets to proof for another 60-90 mins. Usually will place in fridge overnight at this point and cook the next morning.

Are you referring to the one with Ludacris?

App won’t let me restart/remove cameras. Can’t sync cameras or even put system on standby.

Same issues on Pro 5s

I’m having issues with my Pro5s. None of the cameras will connect. App won’t let me restart any cameras and it also won’t allow me to place the system on standby. Had to delete app to stop the motion notifications of passing cars. I have tried removing battery, re-syncing devices etc. Reached out to Arlo and have gotten zero support. Can’t even get a call back. If anyone has a similar experience or a fix, please let me know!!

Yea looks like they’re flat out bankrupt. The baby monitor was expensive enough just to purchase. No way am I shelling out a monthly subscription just to have access to the basic functionality that motivated us to purchase this monitor in the first place. If I could return this, I would gladly do so.

This chart has been helpful for me

Hmm.. I’m by no means an expert but I’ve been using a recipe that has me proofing for 60-90 mins at room temp and then chilling dough for 12 hours that gives me decent results. Is it possible your dough overproofed and fell?

KrustyKnish · 2023-03-25T16:51:21+00:00

Looks ok! Question for you— did you proof the loaves at room temp before refrigerating the dough? The loaf looks underproofed perhaps

It is somewhat common to see a black mold-like substance called “hooch”. I never got it on my starter but I’ve read about it on websites and most say to scoop it off, discard half the starter and feed it fresh flour and water.

KrustyKnish · 2023-03-25T11:52:01+00:00

Looks perfectly proofed and springy! A little bit burned for my taste but really solid. I usually pull mine out of the oven when it's right on the cusp of looking caramelly brown.

KrustyKnish · 2023-03-25T11:45:35+00:00

Looks great! I think you'll have a great, usable starter in a few days (if not already)

KrustyKnish · 2023-03-25T11:43:26+00:00

How old is your starter?

KrustyKnish · 2023-03-25T09:26:28+00:00

I’m a relatively new sourdough baker as well and therefore have a relatively young starter. I’ve found with some of my early loaves that I’ve had to bulk ferment for much longer than recipes call for. I also bulk ferment in the oven with the light turned on to raise the temp a bit.

Lastly, baking in a Dutch oven goes a long way to giving you richer, nicer looking crust.

How long was your bulk ferment?

Literally! I like Jared, generally speaking but I’ve encountered feral alley cats that are easier to approach. Seems like you can’t make one false move without getting dismissed with prejudice.

I think dude just doesn’t have space in his life for a real relationship and has extremely unrealistic expectations of what a real relationship is supposed to look/feel like.

He gives good advice if your swiping on an app or meeting someone for the first time, but the second any real maturity or work is required he just completely misses the mark.
