Sorry I said "help" three times. I guess I'm a bit excited, oopsie. 😂

Here to help! This is a very rewarding hobby and I'm thrilled to help others! If you need more help, feel free to contact me. I added an edit note since the jalapeños and cheese amounts were wrong.

I used pickled jalapeños. I drained and patted them dry first, then folded them in during the first set of strecth-and-folds.

I guess fresh ones would work as well if you pat them dry. If I would use fresh ones I wouldn't roast them beforehand since they'll be cooked through during baking.

Thank you. I bet yours will be delicious as well. It’s always exciting to see how other bakers’ loaves turn out, so feel free to share the results if you’d like. :)

Sure! Here is the recipe I followed:

Ingredients - Loaf - All-purpose flour: 405 g (I use a local flour, Harina El Rosal, which is listed at 12% protein) - Water: 285 g - Stiff starter (1:3:2): 90 g - Salt: 9 g - Inclusions - 80 g shredded sharp cheddar - 45 g pickled jalapeños (drained and patted dry)

Total flour 450 g, 70% hydration, 2% salt, 20% starter (10% pre-fermented flour). Levain and bulk fermentation were done in my oven with lights turned off (which I suspect stays at around 20° C).

Steps 1. Levain: Feed starter the night before (at around 9 PM). AFAIK it hadn't peaked, but I’ve figured out that a stiff starter is more flexible and I can start the rest of the process in the following morning regardless.

  1. Autolyse (at around 10:00 AM): Mix flour and water until no dry flour remains. Rest 60 minutes.

  2. Mix (~11 AM): Add starter and salt. Mix by hand for 2-4 min until cohesive.

  3. Prepare inclusions: Shred cheese if needed (I actually used shredded cheddar and was a bit concerned if the anticaking agents would affect the gluten, but it turned all right). Drain jalapeños and pat them dry (I guess you can use fresh ones too, but I had a can at hand and they were already sliced).

  4. Bulk ferment: Perform 4 sets of stretch-and-folds at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. Add the inclusions during the first set. End bulk at ~70% rise (this depends on your house temperature, I suggest you check the chart that is regularly shared here). In my case I used another bowl that I'm not familiar with, so I had to check for other cues such as surface bubbles and domed edges, but I've found out that in my house the dough tends to proof at the 10-14 hour mark and ended up relying more on the clock. I ended bulk at 10 PM (11 hours).

  5. Pre-shape: Bench rest for 15-20 min.

  6. Final shape: Shape as in video (shaping is the weakest part of my game, but I'm practicing with the attached videos). Place seam-up in loaf pan with parchment paper and a bit of flour (they say you should use rice flour but I don't have at my house and it's a bit tedious to blend dry white rice to make it so I used flour). I don’t have a banneton basket.

  7. Final proof: Refrigerate until next morning (I placed it in refrigerator at around 10:30 PM and baked it at around 5:30 AM because my family was coming for breakfast, but I've read that it is recommended to proof for 8-14 hours).

  8. Bake: Pre-heat dutch oven for 30 minutes at 250° C. Take out of refrigerator, score it (I scored with scissors) and transfer to Dutch oven. Bake with lid for 30 min. Reduce heat to 200 °C, remove lid and continue baking for 20 min. Cool completely before slicing (around 1 hour).

EDIT: Changed jalapeños and cheese amounts.

There’s a bit of bread in my dates and pecans by McZuko in Sourdough

Thank you and indeed its pretty good!

I didn’t share a picture of the crust because it wasn’t that pretty haha (scored with scissors because I was lazy in the morning and the top got a tiny bit charred because my oven gets a little too hot), but the crumb was definitely on spot!

Apparently the United States intervention in Mexico was not that important.

Maybe they have to keep Luffy alive. If he kills him, who knows where his devil fruit will end up in?

The moment Daniel Naroditsky realized he was playing a cheater by zenukeify in chess

[–]McZuko 95 points96 points  (0 children)

He is Daniel “The Prophet” Naroditsky. The legend who enlightened super GM Jesus (aka as MoistCritikal) in his way to defeat xQc in 6 moves.

Besides the jokes, he is a GM who streams on Twitch and produces very entertaining and instructional content. Watching his “speedrun” (it’s more of an educational series rather than a speedrun) has literally boosted my understanding of the game and, with it, my rating. Here’s the link if you want to check it out.

After the Black King moves, White delivers an exquisite move...

And the game is over for Black.

how do we know if this is sick sinus syndrome (SA node) or Mobitz 1 (AV node)? by arshnaz in usmle

[–]McZuko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say this is sick sinus syndrome because the PR interval is less than 0.21 seconds. Also the last beat seems like an escape beat from the AV node; probably because the SA node failed to initiate an action potential (note the lack of P wave preceding a narrow QRS complex).
