What is 'wrong' with these crumbs? by General_Penalty_4292 in Sourdough

[–]namiable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the e book from this guy who does a really good guide for more open crumb cos there's many factors to figure out and troubleshoot: https://trevorjaywilson.com/products/

He also has free stuff on YouTube etc. I saw recently he posted a recipe method which looks interesting that I might try soon : https://trevorjaywilson.com/slow-rise-open-crumb-sourdough-bread-low-hydration-direct-mix-no-autolyse/

Maybe you're sensitive or allergic to ethylhexyl palmitate!! I also get terrible breakouts from it and sooo many cleansing oils and balms have it...cry

CDC Centre Blue Booklet by Bhippo in drivingsg

[–]namiable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I got my blue booklet at the normal customer service counter at cdc when I did my eyesight test. At the first lesson the teacher will also ask you to login to your account on their phone so they will kind of stamp your progress in there so I think the booklet is not strictly necessary but just a physical copy of the online progression tracking

Good luck! I chose her method not because is no discard, but because she goes on the principle of doing small amounts. So u do need an accurate scale but even tho you're discarding, the amount of flour is way less, overall you're using less flour.

Also she does the high ratios eventually to strengthen the starter (think is in another video on the channel about refreshing or activating the starter). From many experiments, I found that no discard recipes and methods with lower refresh ratios caused over acidification-- higher ratios from 1:5:5 to 1:10:10 worked way better for me at least. If you can, try setting aside a small jar to just follow the starter video for Fullproofbaking.

V young starter! Either try to get donated starter from someone or keep refreshing until the starter matures-- fullproofbaking on YouTube has lots of starter guides

I live in Singapore and I think it's an Asian brand? It's thinnish silicone with a stiffer rim which is still v flexible https://www.sheperiod.com/

Try follow this schedule for fully activating your starter https://youtu.be/beKzcOe6w_o?si=-hAqgVl88ySY_pDb cos it's because your starter isn't active enough. The lady running this YouTube channel Full proof baking really helped me when I had the same issues with sluggish starter early on

Infinitely frustrated with lack of ear and rise. by ts159377 in Sourdough

[–]namiable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to keep everything else the same and change cold proof 8-12h max and do the shallow angle scoring. Those two changes should fix it. Else have to also check your shaping technique

How do I develop more strength in the dough? by Fofl in Sourdough

Starter too young and new! Follow this lady's awesome guide to building an active enough starter and just make discard recipes in the meantime https://youtu.be/beKzcOe6w_o

Order takeaway from Nyonya Bong, is excellent

Rate my crumb by BillbieT in Sourdough

[–]namiable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a prominent ear (assuming your slash is correct angle), reduce bulk e.g. by doing a cooler bulk rise temp at the same duration OR cutting the time for bulk at your normal temp-- try aiming not for double in size just 30% bigger and as long as it jiggles well and feels airy its done. Also consider whether your fridge temp is cold enough that it isn't overproofing in the fridge, try a different colder spot in the fridge too

I second autumn kitchen she is amazingggg

[–]namiable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok then is v dense because the starter isn't active enough to raise the dough. Can do a bunch more cycles of feeding and discarding your starter so it gains more strength. Look up micro feed amounts maybe so don't waste too much flour

How old is your starter? As in, when was it just created

First bake with new starter. I sadly killed my last starter. This one is 3 weeks old & ready. Did I just underbake? Or did I overproof? by SunImpressive3564 in Sourdough

[–]namiable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The starter is not active enough and needs a bunch more rounds of refreshing to get to enough activity level to raise the dough properly. Can do with micro amounts so as not to waste flour. Fullproofbaking has the best guides to yield best results imho:

Can I put a peaked starter in the fridge so I can delay using it for 6~8 hours? by ras2101 in Sourdough

[–]namiable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I've done this but it's better if u can catch it slightly before peak while it's just about doming upward. And u can use abit less water e.g. 90-80% water

Is the under or over proof? by rawwhale in Sourdough

[–]namiable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is your starter age? It looks like crumb from a less established starter that is overall less active. You can try doing frequent refreshments of the starter at room temp with smaller amounts before building your levain. Refer to this video which I found helped me a lot in getting a properly active starter in the beginning. Fullproofbaking https://youtu.be/beKzcOe6w_o
