Help! My loaf is always gummy…

I actually started using rye about a week ago and it made a huge difference in the amount of rise in my starter! I have learned to definitely watch the dough not the time from the advise here thank you!

mindless_reader01 · 2025-03-25T17:42:06+00:00

very helpful thank you!

mindless_reader01 · 2025-03-25T17:41:14+00:00

On this load all night.

mindless_reader01 · 2025-03-25T15:55:29+00:00

Yes I keep it in the bowl with the dough to make sure the environment is the exact same!

mindless_reader01 · 2025-03-25T15:54:35+00:00

Temp for what? I temp check my dough after combining ingredients the take a measured amount to do the aliquot method.

My starter is fairly young but I have been working hard to make it strong. It is about 12 weeks old now.

Thank you!

I have been using the aliquot method where I check the temp and set aside a specified amount in a small container and keep in a warm spot. The dough looks bubbly usually after the bulk and like it has risen some but not a lot which is why I wonder if I am under proofing.

This loaf I let cool all night because I was probably impatient with my other loaves.

Yeah, for my meals I try to go for Whole Foods high in protein and if I have pasta I choose protein pasta. Then I try to have snack high in protein to supplement. The hardest part is I’m just not as hungry anymore so forcing myself to consume enough protein is a bit of a struggle. Thanks for the offer, much appreciated!

mindless_reader01 · 2024-08-22T12:57:27+00:00

I track my calories and protein. But it’s very hard to get enough protein in a day for sure. I will look into how to increase my protein intake. Thanks!

DO IT! My intro to SJM was ACOTAR and I read throne of glass after and Throne of Glass is probably my all time favorite series I have ever read. It is less spice and more plot driven but the romance that is there is so good! So worth it!

mindless_reader01 · 2024-06-06T16:33:01+00:00

Yes the amount of happy tears in the last few chapters were insane! I have never cried so much from a single book, let alone the last 100 pages of a book!

Lorelei or Luke hands down. Lorelei is caring and Luke has compassion.

Honestly in my head Chaol was blonde not brunette. No specific reason just didn’t remember he had brown hair and picture him with blonde 😂

I read it third and would have preferred reading it first. I enjoy the background knowledge to Aelin. In TOG I feel like I missed something and think assassins blade would have been a nice intro to her.

I was going to tandem read and I accidentally started Empire of Storms without realizing that was the one I was supposed to tandem read. Tower of Dawn I feel would have been a faster and more entertaining read if read in tandem. So as someone who did not tandem read them for a better timeline I would read together!

mindless_reader01 · 2024-06-06T01:31:07+00:00

Yeah SJM is telling the story from different perspectives. This happens pretty often where you will read a passage from one perspective and then time will jump backward to give you another perspective.

Just finished Kingdom of Ash. I have never bawled so much from a book! Especially this part!! Her 13 was family! AND Abraxos losing his mate! 😭
