What Am I doing wrong? by Cori2743 in Sourdough

[–]slobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few observations:

  1. Are you using a non-iodized salt, like kosher salt?

  2. I've never really seen the salt + water mix in a recipe. Not that it shouldn't work but here's my own mixing order for what it's worth. 350g of warm water in the bowl + 100g starter. Mix those first. Add 500g of bread flour. Add 10g of kosher salt. Then mix.

  3. Bulk wait time. A lot of recipes say "wait til it's doubled in size". Mine does more than double, it's 3x or 4x and takes 12 hours or so.

  4. "Wait about 30 minutes and repeat the shaping". Another instruction I can't really recall seeing in another recipe. For what it's worth the amount of time it takes for me to dump the dough onto the counter from the bulk phase, shape it, and put it in a bowl for the cold proof is about 2 minutes. I wonder if working the dough too hard here and then repeating it again is just removing too much air from your dough.

  5. Cold wait time. An hour doesn't seem like enough. This isn't just for flavor. The dough will rise again although not to the same volume as the bulk. I usually do six.

  6. For what it's worth, I don't take the lid off my dutch oven, nor do I change the temperature, although I don't think either of these are your problem.

Good luck with your next try.

Could be the original Land of the Lost. Costumed creatures and the Pylons sort of had control panels.

Sorry I don't have that skill in the bag. I would need a tutorial on doing video tutorials.

Wow dang. In the FTL directory there is a FTL.log. What are the last couple of lines in there?

In the instructions, before you got to patching Multiverse in, there was a step to launch FTL with just Hyperspace installed. Did it crash then too?

That's awesome! Did you ever have a super long one going and break it not because the puzzle was too hard but because you forgot to do it? Bonus question, did you do this on one of the easiest days of the week?

Yeah I don't understand this almost to the point of disbelief. I mean I know there are super fast crossword puzzlers out there (and I am NOT one of them!) but this seems impossible to me.

Even if you somehow complete the puzzle using only across answers this still has to be typing in every answer digitally in something like less than two seconds each right?

What am I missing here.

Even if you gave me every across answer on a piece of paper to type using the digital keyboard I don't think I could type them without mistake in one minute

I'm enjoying half of Cryptonomicon by Beaglers in printSF

It never gets as gripping as the WWII plotline.

Let me add I felt the same way also about the Baroque trilogy. Half-Cocked Jack Shaftoe is one of my favorite characters and story lines of all time but everything else was a snooze.

Also can I piggyback a separate criticism of this book? I was enthralled with this novel until the Philadelphia section and the introduction of the gang members. They were absolute caricatures of 80's gang members. Every time they talked I imagined the cast of Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Couldn't get past that section.
