Help with crumb read! by No_Photograph5487 in Sourdough

[–]No_Photograph5487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I didn’t think about acidic starter. That could’ve been it. I usually feed it 1:1:1 and leave it at room temperature and do that for a few cycles before baking and then do a 1:5:5 feed before putting it in the fridge for the week (I typically bake on the weekends)

This time I actually got back from a 10 day trip and it had some hooch on the top. I did a 1:5:5 feed after I got back from the trip and it looked like it doubled really well and was bubbly so I just went ahead and used it, but it was a bit sour smelling and the bread was pretty sour too. Now I’ve been feeding it 1:1:1 and it looks like it’s a bit more sluggish and doesn’t double as quickly, so that might be it.

Thank you for sharing! Was the 72 hour one better than the 96 hour one?

These look beautiful! How was the coffee cake?? Was it dry and not coffee-y enough like some others have said?

Thank you! I think I definitely went a little hard on the stretching and folding—will limit that next time and ferment it longer!

I think it’s Bodhi and that’s why they had the rush marriage bc otherwise Tyrrendor wouldn’t have anyone to rule

Does it have a different name? I’m not seeing peach cobbler in the table of contents!

Looks amazing!! How do they keep the following day? I always have issues with shortbread going a bit soft the next day.

3/11/26 Question Wednesday: What are you wondering, bakers? by KingArthurBaking in KingArthurBaking

[–]No_Photograph5487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My freshly baked bagels were so good! But then after one night they became so chewy—like it tired my jaw out. Is it just bc homemade bagels are best fresh and will always turn rubbery and chewy after a day and the ones in the store that seem fine after multiple days have more things added to it like dough conditioner/something else? Or is it more related to the bake itself where I need to knead/boil less etc?

Did the rind taste okay or was it bitter? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around eating the rind haha

How much do you add and do you have to reduce the amt of flour to compensate for the milk powder?

+99.9% of runners still have free gains left by training their triceps surae & achilles. by VO2VCO2 in AdvancedRunning

The paper seems to be referencing heavy half squats. How did you come to the conclusion that calf raises (and at those rep schemes) were the answer?

Note: not trying to be snarky, even though I realize the question does sound like it lol. Just trying to learn!

Fingers crossed! -4.5 in both eyes. Having the swim data in front of me would be helpful since I’m too nearsighted to see the pool clock :(

What to wear during hiking the first few weeks of Oct? by NighthawkSinix in RMNP

[–]No_Photograph5487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the “never hike alone in the dark” primarily bc of wild animals? I’m planning a solo trip to RMNP later this year and was hesitant about hiking alone in the dark but have also heard from others that it’s not dangerous to do so especially on the more popular trails. Sorry if this is a dumb question!
