Jalapeño Sourdough
Want to try a spicy twist on the tried-and-true sourdough bread? This is your ticket! Watch this short video on how I came up with the formula, and the lessons I learned along the way.
Formula for 2 x 700g loaves:
Leaven (made 12 hrs ahead): 70g flour, 70g water, 7g sourdough starter
---
650g - 11.5% White flour (I use organic Central Milling Artisan Baker's Plus)
45g - Whole wheat flour
27g - Whole rye flour
7g - Vital wheat gluten
555g - Water
144g - Leaven (after 12 hrs)
--
16g - Salt
--
20g Jalapeño powder
20g Jalapeño - dried slices
10g Ancho pepper powder
Total = 1,444g
Mix all ingredients loosely and allow to rest for 30 min (autolyse).
Continue mixing at medium speed and add the salt. Mix until gluten is starting to develop (short mix). Add jalapeño and ancho pepper on low speed until fully incorporated.
Fold the dough every half hour for the first 2 hrs, then every hour after that for 5 hours total. 75F.
Divide into 700g pieces and place in baskets. Proof for 3-4 hours at 75F.
Bake for 35 minutes at 475F. Remove sooner or leave longer for desired bake.

Does a preferment in bread recipes make any difference?

Let's do more experiments! What if you took two identical batches of bread and used a preferment in one and not in the other? Would there be any difference? Is it worth the effort when a recipe calls for a poolish, sponge, biga, or pâte fermentée? Well, this video answers all that. Come see the results.

    If you cold proofed your dough overnight, what ph would you shape and put in the fridge?

    • @LoveLevain
      @LoveLevain 6 днів тому

      Great question, and I think it would require experimentation like I did at room temps. Like everything, it depends on your actual cold proof temperature and what you mean by 'overnight'. It also depends on the mass of dough and how long it takes it to get to colder temps. In my 34F fridge and 1kg boules, it would take a few hours...and those are hours of additional fermentation and pH drop. But dinner rolls going to 50F (in some retarders) could happen in 20min. I think you are looking for general guidelines though, so if you want to put things in the oven at pH 4.1, I would start at 4.6 and see how it goes with my conditions by morning. If not quite there, you could it sit at room temp until your target pH is reached.

    • @LoveLevain

      It's simply an equipment issue for me. My proofer is not also a retarder, so I'd need the refrigerator to cold proof. Since it is at 34F and limited in space with low humidity, it's not worth the trouble for me.

    I’m glad I’ve found your channel! I sadly live at the wrong end of the state to get flour from the mill, and shipping about doubles the cost of the flour. 😭 So we grab Lehi Roller Mills when we can make it to a Costco, and every now and then I splurge on Central Milling. I think the impact of quality flour can’t be overstated.

      I assume you mean the convection oven (Moffat), not the deck oven (ABS). If so, it has been very good thus far.

I really love the evenness of the bake regardless of oven position.

    This is a good & interestingexperiment. I just watched one in which there were 4 jars, each with a fairly small amount of dough. The only difference was the amount of salt. 0%, 2% (the max advised by most serious bread makers), 6% and 12% if I remember correctly. (Using baker's percentages.) Now this isn't testing exactly your scenario, but it was interesting, too. The 0% rose the most and was most active over several hours. 2% was a close 2nd. 6% not too active, and 12% just barely getting any bubbles. There was a noticeable difference, though 0 & 2 weren't very different from one another.
