    So amazing, who would have thought, gosh I cant tell you how many times I have been to cupboard to take out flour only to find I have lots of regular plain (AP) flour and almost no bread flour, now we know all is not lost. Thank you so much Philip

    The best tip in this is "match the hydration to the flour." Thanks for that. You've saved everyone a lot of angst. As for the tighter crumb in the lower hydration loaf? That makes it better for toast and sandwiches in our book. The butter or mustard or whatever will stay on the bread and not end up on the plate.

    Perfect timing. I was given 25 lbs of AP, and I'm giving this a go. This AP flour seems to need more water then my usual higer protein bread flour. Always learning something new here, I like you dive into these tweaks and provide tips to make better bread. The Devil is in the details.

    Hi Phil. What a great video. I think you've just helped 95% of all the peeps who search for 'prevent flat sourdough' on UA-cam.
    I use a 50/50 blend of white and wholemeal in most of the loaves I bake and end up around the 70 to 72% hydration mark depending on the weather. The shorter fermentation helps too. My flour is stone ground, but not particularly strong.

    I also generally use Robin Hood flour, it's amazing, but an alternative that I've found works well and can seemingly handle higher hydrations, whilst being nicely extensible and soft, is Μύλοι Θράκης AP flour, the one in the blue-white bag. It contains 11.8g of protein and costs 1.45 euros. Perhaps you could give it a try. Thanks for the videos!

BTW great summary video. All I would add is wear an oven mitt when you’re pouring the boiling water into the pan. Hot pan + boiling water = lots of steam. Depending on the shape of your kettle, you could get a blast of steam coming up around your hand. Ouch! Steam burns are serious painful.

    I am a massive beginner of proper sourdough baking although I've been using it for year totally randomly 😅 I'm trying this procedure with the calculator and using 70% bread flour, 20% spelt, 10% wholemeal. I used 72% hydration but now realising I should have started with 65% as my dough is a bit sticky and collapsing a bit. Also ny house is cold.at 15C and I've been keeping it in the warmish oven but no way to have a proper stable temperature. Really not ideal but hoping for the best

You said that you were keeping the dough cool during the bulk ferment, however you bulked for 7 hours with your proofer set to 77F (and I would imagine the dough was at 80F by the time the bulk was done). In my mind 77F isn’t cool, in fact I think it’s warm. Can you clarify please?

    Off topic.. I use a mix of 20% red dallagiovanno whole wheat flour, 20% finegrounf whole rye, 20% whole spelt medium ground, and rest is 00 fine white high protein wheat. I cannot use less than 85% water or it will not even be foldable, because it gets too dry. often my mixes is near 100% hydration and it looks like yours at 65-70% .. I dont have a problem with it, but I wonder if I do something really wrong? I know its a pretty fiber rich bread I make because my daughter is particular with her diet and we like it, because it tastes good. Maybe it is too much fiber?

    • @CulinaryExploration

      I didn't do a side-by-side comparison with high protein flour so I'm not 100%. But, the crust was well developed and as I mentioned the lower hydration developed a really nice deep-coloured crust. The flavour was superb. The texture was softer, neither the crust nor the crumb was as chewy as sourdough made with high protein flour, but that wasn't a negative for me. Hope that helps

    I've been looking at the recipes for this, finding it a bit confusing as you switch between calling it the starter, then calling it Levain, and visa versa, also the recipe implies you only start with 2g of starter and feed it 10:1, is this correct?

    • @CulinaryExploration
      @CulinaryExploration  Рік тому +1

      Hi Harry, it may help you to think of the starter as the ferment that's kept bubbling away and the levain as the offshoot that is used to bake the bread. But, I don't always use this system, sometimes I don't create an offshoot, I use my sourdough starter which is why you may hear the words used interchangeably. There are a couple of ways of maintaining and using sourdough fermentation for sourdough. Yes, I use 2g of starter to make the levain, you can increase this if you want to speed the fermentation up, I go into more detail on the blog. I hope this helps, Phil

I am a big fan of the bread flour from my local mill (N.R. Stoate & Sons Cann Mill, Shaftesbury, Dorset), although it is quite difficult to work with.

      Here is what I do: feed starter 10% less water, let starter finish rising in fridge after 1 hour at room temp, use cold starter straight from the fridge, prechill mixing bowl in freezer, (no ice box) keep dough in countertop oven with ice block in between stretch and fold and lamination, bulk ferment in fridge for 12-16 hours.
