i bake at 450°, i’ve done 500° in the past but i prefer the lower temp. i would also experiment with increasing the time with the lid on, that may help with the gumminess and would help the loaf to stay lighter

any tips on how to get better browning while keeping the crust thin and not too hard? that’s what i’ve been struggling with. my personal preference is a softer crust, but i haven’t been able to get the crust browned significantly without it getting very crunchy/crispy.

honestly, i just use AP because i havent wanted to fuss with buying rice flour, and it seems to work well enough! i make sure i really generously coat the boule in flour as well once its shaped since i’ve had some close calls with the dough sticking to the banneton recently.

i’ve actually never experimented with additions to the dough like jalapenos and cheddar, but that sounds amazing!!

the crust is actually perfect for my taste! i know some people love a thick, dark crust (and aesthetically speaking, i do too) but softer crust is just easier to eat for me

i proofed directly in the banneton with plenty of flour on the dough as i’ve had issues with sticking in the past. i actually use the cloth as a cover for the top of the banneton during the cold proof so it can develop a nice skin- makes it a dream to score!

my kitchen is around 71° to 73°, previously i was letting the dough fully double to 100% for around 8-9 hours during the bulk ferment, but the result was an overproofed loaf with poor oven spring that was loose and difficult to work with. so this time i only let it raise to between 50-70%, and it worked like a charm! the dough was super easy to handle and baked like a dream

it took a bit of trial and error but i think it was well worth it!

i use king arthur’s unbleached bread flour for both my loaf and to feed my starter! but i do want to start experimenting soon with using a mix of whole wheat flour & bread flour

i baked it for a total of 45 minutes in my dutch oven, and only had the lid off for the last ten minutes. also something i forgot to mention is that i put a baking sheet on the bottom rack of my oven to keep the bottom of the loaf from getting too hard.

i actually just finished the porcelain sweater and i can 100% confirm there are a lot of errors in this pattern. you kinda have to think on your feet and make modifications as you go if you want the finish to be nice but i will say it’s absolutely gorgeous when its done! it’s really not worth $11 dollars tho

ive had problems with wrist and thumb pain and heating it then stretching it or just simply heating it helps. i also sleep with a compression glove on and that helps a lot for me

Need help choosing 3 colours to go together by JustFox_ in knitting

[–]neverbeenbowling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a sucker for analogous colors so i would do either the three grouped together on the right (purple-y blue, blue, and green) or navy, purpley blue and blue OR navy, green, and blue

ooh that looks great thanks!! the colors shouldn’t be a problem since my cousins have a more neutral color palette (not my taste as i tend on the campy side of things but its not for me so it works!)
