Would you buy this bread?


Hey bread people. I’m happy to say that my home bakes have been getting really consistent and I am thinking about selling some home made product. Do you think this sourdough is sellable? Or should I keep experimenting with fermentation time?

Recipe:
375 G Water
100 G Starter
450 G Bread Flour
50 G Whole Wheat Flour
10 G Salt

Process:
1. Mix flour, water, and starter together. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. Mix in the salt and rest for 30 more minutes.
3. Perform 3 sets of stretch and folds every 20 minutes (could be more or less time depending on kitchen temp).
4. Shape and place in floured banneton.
5. Bench rest for 1 or 2 hours (could be more or less time depending on kitchen temp).
6. Overnight cold ferment (good for up to 3 days before baking, but do a shorter bench rest if you plan on stretching the cold ferment).
7. Score and bake covered at 450 F for 22 minutes.
8. Remove the lid and bake at 450 F for an additional 22 minutes.

    Beautiful loaf mate …and I dig the wheat tatt….as a professional baker full-time I would say you could sell that all day.

    Beautiful! Absolutely. What would you price it at?

  5. Annual-Marsupial-308

    Beautiful and yes! I see people buy bread much less impressive than this.

    Do you bulk ferment before shaping or just the stretch and folds?

    I follow the exact same instructions and same amounts and my bread never looks as good as yours! I would definitely buy it!

    Good looking loaf, but might all depend on taste.

    do you preheat your dutch oven? if so for how long?

  19. Major-Education-6715

    Absolutely, esp if the taste is as good as it looks!

    We can’t eat it, so how would we know? It looks edible but you can’t know if/how many sales till you try it. Selling sourdough is pretty popular at farmers markets.

    Yes. I would be willing to pay extra if you slipped some cocaine inside

    That’s a $10 loaf at our farmer’s market.

    Yes, 100%. That crust and ear are gorgeous. The crumb looks nicely open without being too wild, definitely sellable.
