    By far the best pita bread recipe i've ever tried. I got puffage on all my 8 pitas. Absolutely brilliant recipe. I added wheat protein to counteract the Tangzhong since my flour was not high protein. soft, chewy and perfect pockets. thank you professor!

      You can definitely use a mixer to make the dough, just be careful not to overmix, especially since tangzhong has less resistance to overmixing.

    Hello - fantastic recipe and thanks for pointing me here. May I ask - when you proofed this dough you used a lid with a small steam hole. In other proofing videos it was a silicone lid. I'd like to ask if you think it is necessary for the small hole to allow a little air. ( I have silicone lids and wondering if the very wet consistency i get might be because i'm allowing zero air in). Many thanks for your time and brilliant videos.

    Hi. When the final dough is made, can it be covered and refrigorated and used the next day. Also, what is the life span of the dough in the fridge?

    • @NovitaListyani
      @NovitaListyani  10 місяців тому +1

      After you shape them, immediately put the doughs into sealed freezer bags and freeze them. When you want to cook them, leave them to rise in a warm environment until they doubles in size, and cook them. As a consequence of freezing and thawing, the doughs may take longer to proof and cook.

      Thank you for replying. I was referring to after bulk fermentation, can I put the whole dough in the fridge for 24hrs before shaping?
      If so, how long can the dough remain in the fridge?
      Thanks

    • @NovitaListyani
      @NovitaListyani  10 місяців тому

      of course you can do that, as for how long? that really depends on the temperature of your fridge, our fridge, at around 4°C, can provide good environment for our doughs to slowly ferment for about 24 hrs. Remember slow fermentation doesn't mean no fermentation, so at a certain point your doughs may run the risk of over fermentation, I'd suggest you try first with 8-18 hrs. and see how they go.

      ​@@elitemusiccompany7833I know it's been a while, but I'd like to add that the humidity also plays a role, not just temp. I've been baking for a while, in Central America (El Salvador); in San Antonio, TX; & where I'm currently living, S. Central Wisconsin, US. The humidity lvls vary WIDELY, between seasons and location. So in one place that refrigerated dough could overproof in 8 hrs, or be all right for 72, depending on the season, all things being equal. And I take into account that the ingredients are the same, because I actually travel with some of them, even the flour, if I know that I can't source it even through the internet!
      You'll have to expriment with some of those recipes. I have notebooks filled with adjusted bread formulas because the given yeast % won't work where I am. Too much rise, too quickly, or not enough. Etc.
      Happy baking! ❤

    Could I use sourdough starter for poolish?

    • @NovitaListyani
      @NovitaListyani  4 місяці тому +1

      Poolish is usually a term reserved for a type of yeasted pre-ferment. If you use a sourdough starter to make a preferment, it is usually called a levain. When you make a poolish, besides flour and water, you use baker's yeast, in this case, baker's yeast is your leavening agent; when you make a levain, besides flour and water, you use a sourdough starter, and in the latter case, sourdough starter is your leavening agent. A recently fed (sourdough) starter is a starter, but when you use part of it at its peak after feeding or backslopping, you are using a levain. If you keep the starter in the fridge after backslopping, and then use it directly in the final dough the next day, then you are using a starter.

    With regular sourdough withou tangzhong, I usually bulk ferment at room temperature, shape, then put in basket and cold retard until the next day and bake. Since this has tangzhong, after shaping, can I do the final proofing in the fridge for let's say 12-15 hours, and then score and bake? or would the long cold fermentation cause a problem, since this has tangzhong, will it weaken the gluten too much ?

    • @NovitaListyani
      @NovitaListyani  9 місяців тому +1

      12 to 15 hours in the fridge should still be acceptable. I've done that as well, and haven't had any problems, but once the dough leaves the fridge, you do need to keep a close eye on the dough. It should also be noted that the poke test doesn't work on cold doughs.
