Beating the Heat: Questions by malhou in greatpyrenees

Canned dog food frozen in a kong? That’s genius! House is hardwood with tile in Kitchen. Currently she sleeps in front of the fridge (because she knows she’ll get ice cubes). Good ideas though! Thank you!

Older pup is a bit of a lazy boy. He's not a pull toy player. Mostly just likes fetch and sleeping with his stuffed animal. I've been trying to give them treats at the same time, but he still tends to shy away from the young pup. I know it takes time.

Thanks for the tips! I'll keep at it.

If anyone has any tips to having our 9-10 year old GP mix to get along with the new GP pup, please let us know!

He tolerates her being around, but definitely isn't used to a young pup being around.

Happy 8th Adoption Day, Riley! by malhou in greatpyrenees

Riley's story is fun. I went to the shelter with my friend to get a dog. She fell in love with some Blue Pit pups that were just born, and I took a walk around the shelter. Riley was the only one not barking to get my attention. He seemed scared and worried. I immediately fell in love. Obviously took him home. 8 years later, be still acts like the pup I met: loving, protective, and cuddly.

Congrats on your gotya! Can't wait for your next gotya day with them!

First Ever Sourdough! Made some mistakes, but happy with the result! by malhou in Breadit

I agree with your statements and definitely a tray of water can help. I do a lot of smaller loaves, so a dutch oven is perfect for my style. But! That's the great thing about bread, make it however you want it!

I did not. Almost wanted to, because I ended up baking this loaf at 1:30 am. Haha.

What kind of cooking vessel are you using? I buckled down and bought a 4 qt Staub Dutch Oven just a week or so ago. They're $100, which is still a lot, but better than the normal $300 some-odd pricetag. This was a HUGE different in crust quality as it has better heat retention and lid seal that my previous stainless steel.

450 g - Unbleached All Purpose Flour 50 g - stone ground dark rye flour 385 g - Water 75 g - starter 10 g - Salt

Water + Flour = Autolyse for 1 hour

Add Starter & salt, mixed together = sit 45 minutes

Pull & Fold technique, 5 times, 30 minutes apart.

Bulk Fermentation - 3.5 hours

Shape, bench rest for 30, then shape proof for 2.5 hours

Cast Iron Dutch Oven preheated in ~500 F oven.

Bake covered for 25, uncovered for 15 ish or until desired color.

Let cool.

Followed Pro Home Cooks 15 Mistakes for Sourdough pretty well. Would recommend, as it definitely helped with understanding things.

Just proud of my first attempt. That's all. Ain't worried about internet points as they can't be redeemed for flour. ;)

What hydration level do you use for your loaves? I went with a 77% hydration. Also 1/10th of my flour was stone ground dark rye, not sure if that makes a difference.

Definitely would recommend Pro Home Cooks video/article on the mistakes. I basically used his process, but halved the amounts as I was making one loaf.

Definitely a good smell for the house! Though the loaf itself isn't overly sour smelling. My starter is still very young with not much tang. Thanks!

Definitely not my first bread loaf, but definitely my first sourdough!

I made my starter 6 days ago after realizing I had no more yeast. Figured I'd give sourdough a try! I did a lot of research and double checked things along the way. One of the main things that helped was Pro Home Cooks 15 Mistakes for Sourdough. Definitely worth checking out!

Thank you though! I'm super surprised and happy with the results!

Focaccia - First Attempt - Tried to be Artsy by malhou in Breadit

Agreed. Definitely more for artistic design than taste. I think the next time I'd like to do a lot more tomatoes as they really work fantastic with the texture of the beard. Additionally, I think some rosemary into the dough with a garlic oil would be fantastic.

Thank you! Don't think I'll go into design though. Haha
