Everyone can go home, I have made the perfect loaf


Starter is 50% hydration.

Bread recipe is:

125g Starter
350g Water
575g Flour
20g Salt

12hr rise
Form
1hr rest
In cold oven, then turn oven to 425.

In all honesty, I am mostly posting this because it got a laugh out of the family. The recipe I listed has produced about 5 loaves that were the best I've ever made. But with this one I think I grabbed the Starter too long after feeding it.

Either way, I took a couple days to rehabilitate the Starter, and I will have another go of it tomorrow.

    It would be rad if the frisbee hadn’t been invented yet and you invented it by accident with this loaf.

    You should start a bakery.

    Too soon??

    Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful flatness of it. Oh my god, it even has a score mark.

    Babes, did you put it into the oven flat!? 😂

    The score marks! I’m screaming

    Thank you for posting; I’ve yet to achieve some of the gorgeous results folks in this sub have, and your humor reminds me to keep plugging away joyfully

    I am SO dead. I was very frustrated yesterday by my flat(ish) loaf. You win. RIP me.

    I will 100% eat this and be happy. Toast it, butter it, chew the evening away in front of tv.

    Okay, this is when you get some hella good dipping sauces, like hummus, soft cheeses, some super nice olive oils with infused ingredients, fancy infused butters, legit let your mind go feral, slice up that bad boy, toast it, and eat to your hearts content 😎

    My last loaf was this bad and I feel better knowing I’m not the only one. We will persevere!

    For those days after Passover when you want something between leavened and unleavened bread before fully acclimating again.

    You’ve broken the fabric of the universe using only water, flour, salt and ingenuity by creating a 2 dimensional loaf in a 3 dimensional world. How utterly elegant.

    You can’t just post pictures from the Tartine cookbook and claim them as your own.
