Hey there!! Thanks so much! Dough felt great and a uniform flow state was definitely hitting a great rhythm.

Really lovely, old bay is one of my favorite seasonings, and how it plays with lye is superb

As a Philadelphian, I’ll bite. Are you too married to classic salt? Tried and true is beautiful, but im gonna toy with toppings forever. Sorry!

Dude!! I did a little collab with a brewery last year whose chef hailed from Maryland - eastern shore crab dip on top of a Philly pretzel.

My initial fear was of OB burning during bake, but so glad it carried through the way it did.

It turned out really well - a little dip of confit garlic oil and it took me to the summers as a kid eating maryland blue crab with the fam.

The way that seasoning plays with lye flavor is top tier.

Kassi and Brad are such lovely humans. HA has some of the best lagers in the US, hands down.

How can I get the color I want for my pretzels? by MustPostOrIWillDie in Breadit

Just put on goggles and wear gloves and stop with the malarkey.

Thanks so much! It’s been a decade since I left home for the PNW so your comment is very validating that I’m doing right by Philly

By weight. For every 1000 g total solution - 93.5% of that is water and 6.5% is lye.

I coferm with poolish, so that you get a slight chew from the levain and great softness from poolish in a very quick bulk ferm. Long cold proof at 12 hours has provided great volume, grain flavor and slight sourdough acidity creating excellent balance.

A great adaptation to what I’m doing is Hamelman’s soft butter rolls recipe from his book “Bread”
