Today's Sourdough Baking

[58limited]

I haven't baked in months so I started feeding my neglected starters last week and got them going again. I chose the King Arthur starter for today's baking.

I made "Walter Sand's Basic White Bread" from King Arthur's website: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/reci...e-bread-recipe

I adjusted the recipe and used 150 grams of my levain which I started last night (I also used regular yeast but didn't give it time to activate so that the sourdough could have a little time to work as well). The levain is a 50/50 water flour mix with 1 Tbsp sourdough starter added so I calculated that I added 75 grams each water and flour and adjusted the recipe accordingly to compensate. It turned out great!

Also in the picture is a Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Rosemary Garlic Parmesan artisan dough. It also has onion in it. This is basically two different recipes that I came up with, combined, plus some onion. I made this once before and it was awesome so I hope this one turns out - it will make 2 boules. I will post pics when it is done tonight.

I am also starting an overnight natural levain pizza dough, I will cold age it for 2 days before making pizza, I'll post pics here later this week.

Hate to admit. I found myself drooling. We don't get much bread around here.

Here are the pizza pics. The crust is not as sour as I had hoped, I might not have proofed long enough at warm temperature before putting the dough into the fridge. It was still good though. First up is a pepperoni pizza, I was hungry and put it on at 500* and it took about 5 minutes. The second one, a pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza, went on at 650* and took 3 minutes.
