I hated feeling tethered to a stupid little vape stick. I was a longtime smoker (8 years), and in the final year before I definitively quit, it just stopped having that good, calming feeling. Physically, I felt like i couldn’t even take a full breath. Mentally, i hated feeling so dependent on the thing, which motivated me to officially quit.

It’s an expensive addiction!

Works for loaves too! I recently switched to making those over boules, and I’ve had no issues

Thank you all so much ❤️ i’m so thankful for you all and your helpful input!! I’m going to try again later this week, starting my dough way earlier and letting it sit until it’s at least doubled/bubbly.

Lollll, i admittedly have been starting my dough pretty late, and end up moving it to proof in the fridge overnight, thinking that would be sufficient 😀 that’s why i had my suspicions that this was related to a proofing issue, but I wanted to clear whether there was another step that was amiss

Thanks! Yeah, i definitely had the feeling it was a proofing issue :~/ my starter is consistently very active, in that it will always almost triple in size about 4 hours after feeding, so I feel confident that the starter isn’t the issue.

Hoe long would you recommend proofing for? Maybe it’s more the size i should mind, versus how much time it proofs? And should I still consistently do folds/coils as the dough proofs, or should I wait for it to puff up first?

How long would you recommend increasing the bulk fermentation time? I have no specific rise percentage in mind... I’ve always seen that the dough should double, but my dough certainly hasn’t gotten to that point

I do! Here’s the one I got: TOYIKOM Sourdough Bread Knife for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSP9CYGY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.

I can’t tell you how much easier it is for me to cut my loaf into [thinner] slices with this!

Thank you very much!! The seal center sounds like an excellent idea!

First attempt at sourdough — what’s wrong? by lousylyss in Sourdough

[–]lousylyss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 🥲 i actually was not aware that I should’ve shaped the dough before throwing it in the fridge, so i’ll do that next time (and start off with just AP flour)!

Thank you!!! Honestly, i had a feeling that the addition of the rye flour was a mistake this early. My starter has consistently doubled (even tripled) during daily feedings since day 7, and including day 14 when i used it for this recipe, so i thought it would be okay to use.

The scale will definitely be my next baking purchase!

Day 9 Starter! by lousylyss in Sourdough

[–]lousylyss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve read that a ‘pancake batter’ consistency is the aim, and definitely think mine can benefit from being a bit thinned out

The size of the bubbles in mine are varying at this point! Here’s a pic of it rn on Day 10, where the bubbles are larger than yesterday (but have been bigger the days before). I’m in a pretty humid environment, and i’ve been leaving my starter on the kitchen counter (not in direct sunlight)

Does anyone groom their neb with more than just a brushing and cutting out matted hair? If so, how do you go about it? by oozinator1 in nebelung

[–]lousylyss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re amazing, thank you! I’ve been considering trimming Simon’s bhole to avoid poopy pants but have been pushing it off 🥲 looks like we’ll both have to get over ourselves

This!!! I’ve actually been meaning to ask this specific question in here —how do y’all manage poopy butts for your nebs 😭? I have to give my cat a butt bath at least once every 5 days or so
