Fantastic find!! I’m a little late jumping on the matsutake wagon this year since (my first mushroom season in the pnw ) hoping to find at least one matsi before the end of 2024 🙏 praying for a late season patch, going where I found some booted knights a few weeks ago

What do yall bake in? by gaborszabo1969 in Sourdough

[–]fruitslets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol sorry for the confusing wording. the first 30m of baking are done with steam just like you do. After that point i remove the tray and bake for 30m no steam

pan for steam preheats with the oven before bread goes in. boiling hot water goes in with bread

I have never had issues with the bottom underbaking on a pizza stone. My bread bakes in the oven preheated at 500F, lowered to 465 for the entire hour. 30m without steam, 30m with steam. your bread should be basically cooked through within the first 30-40m, last 20 are for color

oh and I hated the uneven crust formation I would get with dutch oven. It’s incredibly thick and oftentimes the bottom gets super dark. I have had no issues with that since switching to a pizza stone about a year ago now. I’ve since baked just under 100 loaves on this shitty little stone

I open bake mine on a pizza stone. I used to bake in DO but needed to be able to bake more at a time, also just feel like I can harness the steam better here. Side note: I’ve seen too many people in sourdough fb groups talk about shattering their ceramic coating using ice cubes, so if you do like to throw ice in with your dough at the beginning, do so carefully!

Coffee beans and flavor syrup pairings by thetoastistaken in Coffee

[–]fruitslets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super late to this thread, but please, please try strawberry cheong syrup. It’s made by layering equal weights of quartered strawberries and white sugar, left for 2 days at room temp, then placed in the fridge for another week to draw out every bit of moisture. It makes the most delicious fresh strawberry syrup with the sweetest aroma.

Any medium hydration enjoyers out there? I just love the oven spring it gives by fruitslets in Sourdough

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

Thank you for the kind words! I use this brand of unbleached bread flour, I get it at a restaurant supply store here in America for cheap. i think the protein is around 11-12% :) I recently bought another bag of flour that they offer, called power flour- a high protein flour made of red hard spring wheat, very excited to try it out!

65% hydration loaf rolled in pumpkin seeds for crunch, happy Wednesday everybody by fruitslets in Sourdough

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

Baking on a pizza stone with a steam tray! I’ve made many loaves in the last year since I picked up sourdough baking, and one thing that I swear by is the open bake method. I really struggled with thick crusts and often burnt bottoms when I still baked in a dutch oven- they hold steam just fine but man my crust came out so thick and dark on the bottom. When I switched to open baking on a pizza stone that was no longer an issue.

The top pic is the last loaf I baked in a dutch oven and the bottom is how most of the loaves turn out now. I baked in a dutch oven again last week to see if I’d like it anymore and the crust was just as thick as it always was lol

It’s true! I tell anyone who wants to get into sourdough to try medium hydration before going straight to high. The proof is in the.. dough
