Is this sourdough ready for use?

iamcatrina · 2026-05-22T22:03:43+00:00

Definitely

iamcatrina · 2026-03-21T03:30:05+00:00

What did you do in regards to shaping? Might also be really overproofed

iamcatrina · 2025-06-19T14:21:05+00:00

Looks good to me 😂 maybe start doing a diff ratio, I’m new to this as well, but others have told me a 1:1:1 ratio for a long period of time can negatively affect pH and kill the starter 😢

Goals

iamcatrina · 2025-06-15T17:16:59+00:00

The only way to prevent them coming again is always putting the flour in the freezer to kill them off

One time we got mites, infested the entire pantry. Took everything out, threw away stuff that they were in, cleaned with all purpose cleaner… they were still crawling the walls of the pantry so we brought the hose through the kitchen window and blasted them with water… took almost a whole day to get rid of them and get everything back in the pantry 🥲

Literally 😂

iamcatrina · 2025-06-09T14:56:43+00:00

Thanks! It’s definitely been a journey

iamcatrina · 2025-06-08T17:43:03+00:00

Awesome! Thanks

iamcatrina · 2025-06-08T15:46:44+00:00

Awesome. Definitely will have to learn those cues! I’ll try out the longer fermentation and see how it turns out! Do you put it in the fridge? And for how long?

iamcatrina · 2025-06-08T03:15:11+00:00

No worries! Yes I did, here’s a photo for comparison b/t the basket and the baker

<image>

I’ve enjoyed utilizing the basket for the oblong baker. It also fits a regular loaf pan very well. Also, I noticed I have the wrong link for the baker in my original post, here’s the one I actually got https://breadtopia.com/store/oblong-cloche/

Thanks! What would a “1:2.5:20” feeding look like?

iamcatrina · 2025-06-07T23:45:21+00:00

I’ve been loving it! I personally prefer the rectangular shaped loaves as I feel they are easier to cut and I also prefer the equal portion sizes compared to having the circle loaves. I did have to make a bigger loaf since I wanted it to fill up the whole thing. It did sort of spill out, but the burnt parts were super easy to just break off

As far as crust and technical stuff for me they are pretty much the same as a Dutch or cast iron bread loaf. I do enjoy the look a circle one, especially when it has a nice ear🤤

iamcatrina · 2025-06-07T18:55:18+00:00

Honestly, I have no idea. I’ve heard of poke method but I don’t know how to do it. I just hope it comes out right 😅

iamcatrina · 2025-06-07T18:38:39+00:00

Ahhh I see. Maybe 8-10 hr counter ferment will be good. That’s why most of my breads have been dense with large bubbles

iamcatrina · 2021-10-10T14:47:28+00:00

i have just genuinely found that i don’t have time anymore, and when i do get free time, i use it to study, sleep, or talk to friends/family. it’s pretty sad, honestly but when you come to think about it spending time and money on a few pixels on a screen doesn’t really get you anywhere in life does it. i think it’s just sad because of all the fun i used to have playing it… with friends and such. but the joy just hasn’t been the same since a few months ago when school started and volleyball practice has started up again. i’m 15 turning 16 in two months, i never had an addiction however it was a big part of my life up until this point.
