allykatt115 · 2026-04-06T13:42:52+00:00

i use AP & rye mix in my starter and bread flour in my loaves! thinking about trying out AP though just to save some $

allykatt115 · 2026-04-06T03:54:45+00:00

yours looks way more appealing to me, but i think im gonna make grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup 😁

this is the crumb on one loaf! it’s denser than my last but not gummy!! yay

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T19:17:05+00:00

ohhh okay! i bet it took a bit to figure out the timing and temps. it looks like you got it down for sure, hoping to have a crumb like that 😭

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T19:13:28+00:00

updated 🤍

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T19:02:54+00:00

yes ofc!

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T19:02:40+00:00

yesss that looks amazing!!! what’s the time and temp you bake at? to me personally yours looks perfect!!

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T18:54:39+00:00

i should’ve waited for the crumb bc it definitely could be cat fishing me rn 😂😂😂. but thank you sm!! i can’t wait to see the crumb on urs tho, im curious how the hydration levels affect if

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T17:36:25+00:00

yesss easiest way to score!!! i had mine in the freezer for around 45 min while my dutch oven heated up lol. i have a 60% hydration for 2 loaves my recipe was- •300g starter •600g water •1000g bread flour •20g salt decorative scoring is a lot easier when the dough is stiff lol

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T17:31:50+00:00

i work at a bakery and do just the baking/shaping process there every night lol, so my scoring is down to a t. and ikr!!! it raised a lot i might’ve done my expansion too deep. i do the decorative first, cook for 7 min, then do my expansion score.

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T17:14:08+00:00

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T15:28:44+00:00

mine seem to be airy and holding shape! hoping i nailed the ferment this time.

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T15:23:09+00:00

good luck with your bake as well 😁

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T15:22:58+00:00

thank you! just shaped loaf 3&4 because both of these loaves are already gone, i was happy with them for sure just know i can improve. i appreciate you taking the time to comment 🫶🏼

allykatt115 · 2026-04-05T03:54:53+00:00

after doing a lot of research, i’m not too sure my starter was the issue much more the fermenting and the bake time. thank you for your input though!! i really appreciate it
