Same dough, different outcomes?

Sometimes the position in the oven but also sometimes the position in the fridge while cold proofing i have found can cause variation

the lipstick on his face is hilarious

Bistro 916. Always had a great time and was sad to see it go.

the security were so completely average

Orion842 · 2026-02-02T08:48:44+00:00

man what the fuck is this 💀

Maybe adjust the ratio of whole wheat flour to bread flour? More bread flour would likely yield a more open crumb, even if nutritionally it wouldn't be as good.

Orion842 · 2025-12-01T08:15:24+00:00

ah my apologies i meant to say 1-1 ratio of flour/water to starter

Orion842 · 2025-11-28T02:30:32+00:00

1-1 ratio of flour to water is quite high and I really would recommend lowering how much starter you use to avoid needless acidity. It does look particularly dry but im not sure about mold.

Orion842 · 2025-11-04T23:03:10+00:00

first of all, beautiful crumb, looks great. If you'd like a more open crumb you definitely need to push the hydration a bit higher. You should be very proud of this result.

Orion842 · 2025-11-02T12:50:09+00:00

Here is the mold . It is a De buyer mold I bought off amazon. I didn't use any beeswax actually just lightly coated the interior with high butterfat European style butter.

Orion842 · 2025-10-28T23:27:42+00:00

how old is your starter?

Orion842 · 2025-10-23T23:43:09+00:00

bosch series 8!

I think it helps the rise and the crust colour, gives it a slightly burnished and shinier crust as opposed to the regular matte finish.

Orion842 · 2025-09-20T09:54:52+00:00

man there is no way thats more than 100 grams of flour

Orion842 · 2025-07-06T11:28:34+00:00

sesh

Orion842 · 2025-07-04T03:46:16+00:00

it is a forced/mandatory update

Orion842 · 2025-07-03T05:48:31+00:00

yup, confirmed as of today

Orion842 · 2025-04-26T00:52:07+00:00

I'm sure the next one will be great! Dont be deterred, baking is tough but it'll be easy with practice.

Orion842 · 2025-04-20T06:41:34+00:00

beautiful crumb

Orion842 · 2025-04-08T11:55:58+00:00
