Hi, Lily, Thanks for this great video :D I always enjoy seeing your videos, and this one especially since I also do sourdough (but in smaller batches).
Hi Lily! I am really appreciating your videos as I just won a Rackmaster 2020 and am feeling a bit overwhelmed by it (I'm not a professional baker!) It's helpful to see the oven in action and the adjustments you make during the bake.
Hi Lily. Thank you for creating and sharing this video. I just started baking with my Rackmaster2020. I love it, but I haven't been able to dial in on a good baking profile. Your suggestion to load at 250, bring temp down to 210, and then bring back to 250 for remainder of bake is very helpful! Would you mind sharing how much time after unloading you wait before loading next batch? Many thanks again, and beautiful loaves!
my pleasure! ooh how exciting! hmm it depends how busy I am, but I try and wait at least 10-15 mins in between batches as the temperature does drop dramatically after adding steam
Great work lily!!! Just purchased my first professional oven and starting a very micro bakery myself and your videos keep inspiring! Was wondering if you could share where you got the bread mouldings as not big fan of the usual bannetons.. many thanks
Hey Lily, please could you further explain that water temperature calculation? My kitchen temperature is really inconsistent and I think this could really help 😊
This guy talks about it in around 50 of his videos, it's fundamental to baking professionally (where you need consistency) ua-cam.com/video/7z3HEgTAFCY/v-deo.html Channel is "boulangerie pas a pas". Over the years he got better at making english content and or good english subs. Any serious book about baking will also cover that topic.
When you do your 1:5:5 refresh in the evening, where do you store the starter overnight ? in a warm proofer of just in ambiant temperature in the kitchen ? thanks
Hi lily! I recently just got my rackmaster 2020!! So excited! How did you figure out how to set a timer for the oven to start preheating for you at 2:30am before you wake up!!?? Cuz I’d love to know !! 😍
Hi Elizabeth! Amazing news! Are you part of the UK/USA whatsapp group? I'd recommend getting in touch with either Liz (Ma Baker Bakes - UK) or Terrie (thefarmersbaker- USA) and from there we can guide you xx
Hy Lily, Just on question about this oven. The oven can be connected to the normal socket at 220v? If i buy one i can use at home without problems? Thank you
How do you get the oven timer switch? Does is a 2 hour heat up required? How about if you’re baking more than one full load? Are you reheating for a time?
hey Sara, I hired an electrician to install the oven timer and it takes 2-2.5 hours to fully heat up :) and about 15 minutes in between bakes to heat up again. Hope this helps!
hi Lily -- great to watch this and I love the scale of your operation. I'm curious about approximate quantity of dough per container you are using there for bulk fermentation -- and what is approximate volume of each container? Any insight? Cheers, Simon
hey, thank you! So the containers are either 20 litre/ 26 litre in volume and I fill them only a third full (ish) so there's room for the dough to grow throughout the bulk fermentaion: www.nisbets.co.uk/nisbets-essentials-polypropylene-full-size-gastronorm-container-without-lid-200mm/fa822?vatToggle=incvat&plaid=1&cm_mmc=PLA-_-19652062308-_-148686295889-_-FA822&cm_mmca1=go_19652062308_148686295889_647495878734_pla-597855165486_c_&kpid=go_cmp-19652062308_adg-148686295889_ad-647495878734_pla-597855165486_dev-c_ext-_prd-FA822_sig-Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJT1uHEvuU6SSAIcD9V_OnEcoMl3hDky6E0M0ZUgRu_v_hmFDrYOa90aAqsvEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJT1uHEvuU6SSAIcD9V_OnEcoMl3hDky6E0M0ZUgRu_v_hmFDrYOa90aAqsvEALw_wcB

Hi, Lily, So, with regards to the RM2020, obviously it gets hot inside the oven, but how much heat does it put outward (toward the room it's in). If it's on, can you feel the heat from it if you're standing, so, 2-3m away? I'm considering buying one,. but I'm also somewhat concerned about how much heat it radiates outward.
hello! So the room definitely does warm up but I wouldn't say you can feel it unless you are less than 1m away/ touching the door (which I wouldn't recommend anyway!); it's never unbearable as long as you have a window open/ door open keeping the room well ventilated especially when releasing steam. It's a very well built piece of equipment :)
hey! So the only way you can join the group is if you choose to purchase the oven :) I'd recommend getting in touch with Campbell via instagram / message me if you have done so and I'll let him know!
Lily, how do I know how much dough I would need to prepare? I’m starting and I bake 4 breads per day😅 I want to bake 20 per day. How do I know how much flour,water,starter,salt? I’m so scared of messing up
hey! I talk about this more in my online course but I'd suggest creating a spreadsheet inputting your recipe and simply scaling it up to 4 loaves / however many loaves you need to prepare
hey Leo, how wonderful! I've never had an issue as can easily add steam manually with a water compressor pump... best decision I've made equipment wise was to invest in my rm2020 :)

My dough has been sticky after initial mix, and especially after autolyse. Any tips or tricks on why this might be? I’ve been doing 75% hydration and mixing longer in my large mixer after autolyse.
My dough is always sticky. It probably a flour thing because my dough never looks like anyone on UA-cam and their dough. How I handle this is folds and forming a dough ball on the table. The more you fold it and stretch it into a tight ball the less and less sticky it becomes. Just cover your hands in a little water every now and again toward the beginning.

amazing Allon, so exciting! I keep mine at room temperature... so currently it's at around 9-10c in London and have actually been feeding it at 1:3:3 more recently at 5pm ready for work at 5am start. Working v well!
@@LilysLoaf sounds right, I’m running a 1:10:10 ratio (we are at around 20 degrees at night - Melbourne Australia). Have been running with a Rofco B20 for the last few days and had a great bake today using a similar temp and time to what you do in the RM2020. Slowly getting there! You are a really great help, thank you.
It's best to get a smidge from someone. Or purchase a well known starter for $5 - $10. If you make your own it seems it will never be a strong viable sourdough, at least not right away.
I find that using a mix of rye and whole wheat works best for mw. Don't use bleached flour for your starter. There are some really good videos by Foodgeek and Bread Code about making your own starter. It will take about a week if you start from scratch but it's very fun to do IMO
I hope very soon your oven will be too small because the number of your costumer will increase daily. Bongard (a top oven manufacturer) make modular oven able to bake bread, pastry viennoiseries (croissants) and for some even pizza (it's an option). I wish soon you a lot of costumers.

amazing! My mixer is 30 Litres (does about 16-17kg of dough at a time); brand is ACE, spiral mixer.
