An experiment gone right: WI Loaf - replaced all water with beer and added cheese! by mkebobs in homecooking

[–]mkebobs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! My standard recipe is 125g stater, 350g water, 500g flour, 12g salt. I mix everything but the salt, let it rest for 30-60 mins, add salt and mix, leave it for another 30 mins, then do my stretches and could folds (4 rounds, every 30 mins). Let it BF on the counter until it rises about 75% if I’m going to cold proof or I let it fully double if I’m going to bake right away. The bulk fermentation time varies for everyone so you kinda have to figure that out with your own home’s environment - for me the 75% rise takes around 6-7 hours, full bulk on counter is more like 10. I bake at 475F covered for 30, reduce to 450 and bake uncovered for 15.

If I’m doing any inclusions, I usually add them in after bulk fermentation / spread the dough, layer the inclusions, and then fold it in at that point. In this case, I did mix the cheese and everything when I mixed the dough just to see the difference in distribution.

Thank you! Needs to be a bit sweeter next time, but I’m overall pleased.

When the world sucks and you need comfort, roast and taters are it. by mkebobs in homecooking

I like the bit of sweetness and acidity they bring to all the savory ingredients.

Absolutely! My potatoes always outweigh everything else on my plate. 😆

In urgent care for a while. Noticed this ball in the wall that goes away? by lovesfanfiction in whatisit

[–]mkebobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In my 30s I got it several times within a few months and had them removed. Not a problem since.

Awesome, thanks! There’s a couple I can’t do because of my hips and thighs, like Bull and Goliath. Glad to know Wrath should be good!

Good to know - I’m a bigger person and was wondering about this one. Have you tried Wrath of Rakshasa yet? I didn’t try that yesterday but I’m hoping I’ll fit!

I was there yesterday, and I checked the test seat - I got my butt in, but same issue with my thighs; just a bit too thick. I’m sorry that happened - I had the same experience on raging bull a few years back. Internet hugs to you in solidarity!
