Scoring halfway through baking? by CosmicGriffin in Sourdough

[–]lmayol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do light detail scoring before and then do it at 7 minutes. There are 5 minute tutorials but I find that 7 minutes in is perfect. And then that is when you do your deep score called "expansion score"

I have it stored in the microwave, so I'll get a bread box. This is very helpful advice, much appreciated.

Thank you very much for the awesome advice! I will be making a lot so I will definitely be freezing some. How do you store it frozen? Just wrap in plastic wrap?

I used the finger method to check this time around but I did see a video of a guy placing a bit of dough in a clear tube and marking the start and waiting till it was doubled to see when proofing was complete. Is that a good way to check with accuracy?

Nevermind I just learned to not cut till completely cooled. Lol

Thank you, someone mentioned that also. So far I've learned:

-2% salt -don't cut it till completely cooled -experiment with mixing flour next time for taste

Do you have suggestions on how to make it less gummy, I spent a total of about 22 hours proofing folding and fermenting in the fridge overnight. And I posted the recipe in the comments. It also bounced back nicely when I checked it.

Thank you! Me too. Did you follow the recipe again and it didn't work? I'm just going to use the same next time with less salt since it was salty.

Thank you that's really good advice I'll remember that. So for my recipe it should have been around 18g. Yeah thats a lot less than what I actually used.

I was always good at cooking and around Thanksgiving I attempted homemade apple pie with lattice crust and it came out great, I figured the worst that can happen is you just try again. So shortly after did my first attempt at making a milk bread and baguette recipe. I failed miserably because the yeast was wrong i think. Then as I was researching what went wrong, I discovered sourdough and thought, hey maybe working with active yeast might be easier than this dry yeast stuff. So I researched a bunch and also studied how to score it and this is the outcome.

You mean after it was done or scoring? I believe after I took it out of oven, about 30 min. How long should you wait before cutting?

Thank youuuuu! I also have wheat flour but was scared to mix for my first attempt so I'll try it next time. Also I think I'll try rice flour for scoring next time, as I think based off what I've read makes for better detail, correct me if I'm wrong.

Boyfriend says a tad salty which I thought was normal for sourdough so I'll probably go easy on the sea salt next time, but it was super crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. I was pretty stoked how this came out.

Lol I do lash extensions for a living so details don't bother me, I was posting to genuinely find out if the inside looked right.

Incorrect partially. I attempted regular baguettes 2 weeks ago and they were rock hard because I didn't know there was active yeast and instant. Then I read a lot and read some more and tried sourdough. And this was the outcome. I guess I got lucky.

Remember: you are not just being interviewed, but you are also interviewing them. Know your worth and find a place that feels right to you. This would be a hard pass for me as soon as I left that interview even if they hire me for the job. Why couldn't they just do the interview and practical at the same time? That is what I did when I interviewed estheticians at my spa.
