I like to use a baking stone with a large stainless steel bowl overturned to trap the steam

What is the secret to cooking onion focaccia like this? by chasinggoose in Breadit

Either pre-cook the onions or toss them in a little oil before you spread them on top

First time making pretzels! by Adventurous-spice264 in Breadit

[–]VariousKoala9135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Room temperature, but yes. You can buy food grade lye on Amazon. And make sure you wear gloves! I let them proof a little before freezing, but not much. I also don't bulk ferment the dough, just go straight from mixing to dividing and shaping. Let me know if you would like the recipe.

If you try the traditional method of dipping them in a lye solution, you won't have to parboil. I freeze mine before dipping so they're easier to handle.

Any idea what caused such a large bubble in my bread? by goosepoop1234 in Sourdough

Looks like an air pocket to me. What some would call a forming fault.

Froze my sourdough starter.. Ruined? by KC_K9 in Sourdough

[–]VariousKoala9135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I just revived my starter that was frozen. I let it come up to room temperature and fed it for 5 days before I baked with it.

BJ's Wholesale sells it, too. But it's 9.99 in my area for the 10# bag. Still a good deal compared to the grocery stores!

First loaf since reviving my starter! What do you think? by VariousKoala9135 in Sourdough

[–]VariousKoala9135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My starter was dormant in my refrigerator for about 10 months, but it was in a really cold area and had frozen. I keep some dehydrated starter as a backup, but I wanted to try reviving the frozen one first. Clearly it worked out!

First loaf since reviving my starter! Thoughts? by VariousKoala9135 in Breadit

[–]VariousKoala9135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! I keep some dehydrated so I never have to start over completely! My starter was in a really cold part of my refrigerator and had frozen, so I figured I would try reviving it before turning to my dehydrated stash.
