I grind my own whole wheat so I fist ground about 400 grams of wheat berries and sifted out the bran. Mix the results with the all purpose flour. Should total 750 grams.

Add the mother and water in a small bowl and mix to thin the starter. Add 75 grams of the flour mixture and mix. Allow to rise till tripled.

When the soaker is ripe, mix the remaining flour mix, the remaining water, and the soaker in the mixer at low speed for about 5 minutes. Allow to sit for about 30 minutes (autolyse).

After the 30 minutes, add the starter, salt, and yeast and mix till well incorporated. Turn out on work table.

Pat and stretch out to fold.

Follow the standard 3 x 3 fold.

Place in dough bin and allow to rest for about a half hour. Repeat 4 times.

Place in the refrigerator for 18 - 24 hours. Turn out onto work table.

Divide into two equal portions. Pre-shape and place in dough bin to rest for an hour.

Shape and place on a couche.

Allow to rise for an hour.

Sprinkle peel with some cornmeal. Place loaves on peel.

Make a mixture of one egg white and just a little water. Whisk well to mix. Use this mixture to baste both loaves.

Multi Seed Bread

Fri Jul 30 09:17:04 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

Starter
45.0 gram Starter Mother
180.0 gram Flour, all-purpose
180.0 gram water

Soaker
65.0 gram Flax Seed
30.0 gram Sunflower Seeds
30.0 gram Pumpkin Seeds - Toasted
40.0 gram oats, rolled
40.0 gram Rye Chops or rolled rye, etc
225.0 gram water
22.0 gram salt

Final Bread
425.0 gram Starter
280.0 gram water
450.0 gram Soaker
420.0 gram Flour, all-purpose
210.0 gram flour, whole wheat

Instructions:

The night before expand your sourdough starter using equal weights of flour and water till it reaches 425 grams plus sufficient excess to store as your new starter.

NOTE: Pictures are of a 12 loaf batch.

The night before mix all the soaker ingredients and allow to sit in a bowl overnight.

Mix the starter, water, and soaker ...

till starter is well mixed into liquids.

Add flours and mix for about 10 minutes or until the gluten is developed.

Dump on work table and fold.

Place dough in a storage container sufficient to hold volume. Allow to rise, slowly, to develop flavors, about 2 hours. Fold and return to storage container. Allow to rise another 2 hours.

Divide and shape dough

Flour a banneton

Place one dough in each banneton. Allow to rise till doubled. NOTE: If you allow to raise in a very cool room (60F) you'll have to extend the time. The dough in the pictures was allowed to proof for 12 hours. Even in that time, it did not double in size, yet the oven spring and crumb was beautiful. You have to be familiar with how your sourdough works and adjust accordingly.

Turn doughs out of banneton and onto a peel. Brush off excess flour. Bake in a temperature stabilized WFO at about 450F for about 45 minutes or till done and a tap on the bottom sounds hollow.

Onion Pumpernickel

Thu Jul 29 05:00:33 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

1200.0 gram water
375.0 gram molasses
20.0 gram Cocoa
4.0 gram coffee, instant
40.0 gram salt
400.0 gram flour, rye
400.0 gram Flour, Pumpernickel
900.0 gram Flour, all-purpose
30.0 gram Caraway Seeds
80.0 gram Starter
1.0 each Onion large, minced

Instructions:

Add the first five ingredients to a pan and heat to dissolve the molasses and salt. Once dissolved, remove from heat and cool to about 100 F.

Mix the next 4 ingredients in a plastic dough box.

Mince the onion. Add to cooling liquid mixture.

When liquid is cool, add the starter. Stir to dissolve the starter into the liquid.

Pour the liquid into the flour mixture.

Mix by hand.

Until all the dry flour is incorporated.

Let sit 20 minutes.

Flour your work table and the top of the dough very well.

Turn the dough onto the work table. Flour the top of the dough.

Pat the dough out into a square, moving the dough to keep bottom floured and not sticking to the work table. Brush excess flour off of dough.

Fold the left third of the dough onto the center third. Brush off all excess flour.

Fold the right third of the dough over onto the other two thirds. Brush off the flour.

Rotate the dough 90 degrees so it's running the length of the work table. Pat out again.

Fold Left side onto the middle, brush off flour.

turn right side onto the other two thirds, brush off excess flour.

Repeat steps 11 through 15. Place dough in the dough box to rest for 20 minutes.

Repeat steps 11 - 15 one time. Return dough to the dough box to rest for 20 minutes.

Repeat step 17

Repeat step 17 again, but let dough rest 8 hours or over night. You can go longer but not shorter.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Pre-shape and allow to rest 10 minutes to relax.

Finish shaping the loaves, allow to rise for at least 8 hours.

Slash loaves and paint with liquid of choice (I use 1 T of corn starch added to 3/4 cup of cold water, mixed, and brought to a boil while mixing.) Sprinkle with caraway seeds.

Bake at 375 until internal temperature is about 200F.

Be sure to allow to cool before cutting.

Potato Bread - No Knead - Sourdough

Fri Jul 30 13:34:14 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

Starter
2.0 pound potatoes peeled
18.0 gram salt
60.0 gram Sugar
0.35 pound Flour, all-purpose
0.5 pound Chef starter
3.0 pound Flour, all-purpose or more - see instructions

Instructions:

Peel the potatoes and cook in water till tender. Reserve the cooking liquid. You'll need 1 pound of the liquid

Rice the potatoes

Mix in the salt and sugar.

Add the 1 pound of potato water from cooking the potatoes.

Allow to cool to about 100 degrees F, and add in the flour and the Chef. (btw, a Chef is the sourdough starter that gets expanded into the starter used to make the bread as in this case). Search the index for a link to maintaining a potato starter.

Cover and allow to ferment overnight. Should be foamy around the edges as natural yeast becomes active.

To make the dough, weigh the starter and add 75% of the starter's weight in flour. Mix it in a plastic bin following instructions for the other no-knead doughs (baguette, etc). I haven't posted pictures here.... After the first 20 minute rest, the dough will look rough. Pat it down and follow the instructions for the 3 folds, 20 minutes between each.

I allowed this dough to rest for 2 hours after the series of folds. Since this dough sat overnight, you could get by with less, but I'd let it sit at least one hour for the yeast to get going.

Shape as desired. This is a dense bread and needs a longer baking time. Bake at 400 (350 convection) for about 15 minutes, with steam if available, and then vent the steam and reduce the temp by 50 degrees. Bake till internal temp is about 200. Here, I did loaves in my Hovis strap pans. These were 1.67 pounds each. I would go about 2.5 pounds in the future. They baked for about 35 minutes....

i made 4 loaves.

No-Knead Jewish Rye

Thu Jul 29 07:16:00 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

2.0 pound Starter 50/50
1.1 pound water
0.5 pound Flour, all-purpose
1.5 pound flour, rye
28.0 gram Salt, Flour
28.0 gram Caraway Seeds

Instructions:

The starter is a 50/50 mix (1/2 flour and 1/2 water). Thin the starter with the water and mix in the salt and the caraway seeds. I use flour salt so it's easier to dissolve. Add the rye and AP flours. NOTE: You can mix the rye with 50% pumpernickel if you want, but I don't like all pump... Some of the pictures are with pump included. The process is the same.

Mix the ingredients with your hand. Use only one, keeping the other clean. Note, most of my no knead breads are 80% hydration, this one is 70%. The rye flour doesn't develop sufficient gluten to maintain a good shape when hydrated to 80%.

Mix until the flour is all moistened and the dough comes together. It may be rough, especially if you added pump.

Follow the instructions for the no knead baguettes for stretching the dough every 20 minutes for an hour. This dough will NOT be near as elastic as the baguette dough, and it will tend to break when you try to stretch it. Just slap it back together and continue to stretch. After the last stretch, let it rest 20 minutes, and turn it out onto a floured work surface and pat it out.

Fold the bottom third up onto the middle third

Fold the top third down onto the other 2 thirds.

Rotate the dough 90 degrees and pat out. Fold the top quarter over onto the 2nd quarter, and the bottom quarter over onto the 3rd quarter.

Fold the bottom two quarters over onto the top two quarters, and rotate the dough 90 degrees.

Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.

Pat a portion out.

Fold the top quarter over onto the 2nd quarter, and the bottom quarter over onto the 3rd quarter.

Fold the bottom 2 quarters over onto the top 2 quarters. Set the dough on a board and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures, but after the 20 minutes you want to shape each loaf into the desired shape. Place on a floured canvas and allow to proof. This period should be at least 2.5 hours and depending on the temperature of the room as much as 8. During this time, the bacteria does its work, and the longer you can wait, the more sour the bread will be. Watch your dough. You want it to rise, but not overly so. The picture here shows properly raised dough.

Place the loaves on a peel sprinkled with coarse corn meal. Score the loaves (I use 7 perpendicular slashes on ryes). Wash with a cooked water and corn starch solution (this should be thickened, but not jello like), and then sprinkle with additional caraway seeds. Bake at 425F for convection with steam. 475 without convection. Try to add steam in either configuration. I bake for 5 minutes with steam, and 20 more minutes without.

Remove from oven, and immediately apply a 2nd coat of the corn starch solution. This 2nd coat will make the loaves shinny. Allow to cool, and enjoy. NOTE: Picture is of loaf with 80% hydration. Notice how it spread out instead of a proper shape?

Another picture showing the shine from the 2nd coat of corn starch.

Jewish Rye - No knead

Fri Jul 30 05:40:58 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

1.6 pound Starter
1.7 pound Flour, White Rye
0.9 pound Flour, all-purpose
20.0 gram Caraway Seeds
35.0 gram Salt, Flour
1.8 pound water

Instructions:

Add dry ingredients to plastic bin and mix.

Add starter and water.

Mix by hand till well incorporated. Allow to rest 20 minutes.

Stretch dough by pulling from an edge and stretching dough across remaining dough.

Repeat about 20 times or till dough gives some resistance.

Repeat 4 and 5 two times, for a total of three stretching sessions and 3 20 minute rests. Allow dough to rest about 3.5 hours. This is longer than the other no-knead doughs to allow the flavor to develop. After that period, the dough should be well risen in the plastic bin.

Scale the dough into 1.5 pound portions. Pre-shape the dough by first flattening the portion.

Fold 1/3 of the dough over onto the middle 1/3.

Fold other 1/3 over onto the 2/3.

Now fold 1/4 over onto the next 1/4.

Repeat on the other side.

Fold 1/2 over on the other half, like closing a book.

Allow to rest about 15 minutes.

Pat the dough flat.

Fold 1/3 over onto the middle 1/3.

Fold the other 1/3 over onto the 2/3

Seal the seams.

Shape the dough.

Place on couche.

Allow to rise till doubled in bulk. This can be a rather long time if you keep the proofing area cool. Cooler/slower rise will allow bacteria to develop that great sour taste. I let these rise 3 hours.

Place on peel, baste with a cornstarch solution (mix some corn starch into some water, and bring to a boil. You want this to be a little thiner than honey), and sprinkle with more caraway seeds.

Bake at 425 on stones with steam if possible. I use a convection oven, so I did 5 minutes with steam, 15 minutes without, and 5 minutes with oven turned off.

Sourdough Bread

Thu Jul 29 03:34:36 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

Default
2.75 pound Starter
1.65 cup Flour, all-purpose
0.06 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Above is an example. If the starter is made by one cup of flour to one cup
of water, by volume and not by weight, you should weigh the starter.
Multiply the weight of the starter by .600 to determine the amount of flour
to add and by .02 to determine the amount of salt to be added.

Sourdough weight X .600 = Flour to add
Sourdough weight X .020 = Salt to add

Rye Bread

Tue Jul 27 20:08:46 UTC 2010

Ingredients:
Instructions:

Everything works off the starter.

Whatever the weight of the starter, add 2/3 more in Clear flour.

Salt is the weight of the starter * .02
Brown Sugar is the weight of the starter * .04

remember to add old bread soaked in water.... this will require additional
flour
add caraway seeds to taste.

1/15/04 - Tried some varriations... increased the Brown Sugar to .06 and threw in a little diastalic malt. Procedurally, holding back the salt, I mixed for about 30 seconds, until it just started to get mealy, and then let it rest for a bit. I then added the salt and mixed to the normal extent.
