Mistakenly ordered a 16kg bag of wholemeal last time. Tried to make a loaf with it yesterday and it went straight in the bin. 50/50 mix is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21940 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 How’s the rise? Did you do it on a pizza stone? The sourdoughs I did like that came out great but I would have liked them a little higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44931 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Aye it's done on a stone. I'm not cutting into it for a bit yet cos I don't want to be freezing slices while they're still warm. Don't worry, there'll be photos when I do Aye up until today the rise on mine has always been disappointing too. This looks to be the best one yet so I'm hoping it looks good once it's cut into. One thing I've done is bought a heat pad to sit my starter on. So it sits out overnight on this heat pad and by the time I get up the next morning the starter has doubled in volume and is full of bubbles. This is the first bake since I've done that, and the loaf has risen much more than previously. Might be worth a try - pad only cost a tenner on Amazon. I just bought one that sticks on the side of a reptile tank which does temps from 15 to 35 degrees. Set it about halfway up on the dial and leave it.

Gemmill 44931 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 @Dr Gloom Strong recommend for this wife's recipe/approach with Sourdough. An absolute piece of piss to do (no kneading required) and good results (pics below).
