This page is mostly a collection of baking recipe notes for my own use. There are tons of recipes floating around for the types of bread-adjacent food I like to bake, but I always need to remember what adjustments I want. So here are the cliff notes:
sourdough bread
For a more thorough overview of my sourdough baking process, see
here instead.
ingredients
- 260g starter at 100% hydration (130g each)
- 600g water
- 20g salt
- 1000g flour
notes
Bulk ferment 4-8 hours until about doubled in size. Inner temperature should reach 190°F. Proof overnight or longer in fridge.
sourdough pizza
ingredients
- 60g starter at 100% hydration (30g each)
- 95g flour
- 35g water
- 10g EVOO
- 3g salt
notes
Amounts are for a single pizza. Adjust accordingly. Each pizza is 200g, good for 8-10". Bake at 550°F, on pre-heated pizza steel, top third of the oven. For a much easier time, put parchment paper underneath pizza.
bagels
ingredients
- 9g instant yeast
- 480g bread flour
- 12g salt
- 9g barley malt syrup
- 300g lukewarm water
notes
Bloom yeast in mixture of water and syrup before adding to dough. Knead with a mixer until very stiff. Bulk ferment until puffy, 60-90 min. Makes 10-12 bagels; divide among 2 baking sheets to avoid crowding. Use greased parchment paper. Flour well before proofing so they don't stick. Handle carefully after proof to avoid wrinkles. Water bath in 2 qts water, 28g barley malt syrup, 14g sugar for 1 minute per side. Bake 20-25 min. Flip midway through if desired. Adapted from
King Arthur's recipe.
