Feedback Please! Loaf#5


Hello,

Do you have any feedback? I can’t tell what needs to be improved with this loaf. This was a very basic recipe for plane Jane dough from a tik tok creator named Brynn.

My four previous loaves were bad with two being inedible. I strengthened my starter and added 30% rye flour and saw improvement.

What should I work on improving?

    Oh gorgeous! You could possibly ferment it a tiny bit longer if you wanted smaller holes, but I would eat it just as is.

    Beautiful scoring. Very nice blistering — are you at high altitude, or did you add ice to the preheated Dutch oven? Great looking crumb — although if you prefer Not to have large holes in your sliced bread, look for abnormally large bubbles while shaping and pop ‘em with metal scraper. Other questions to improve or experiment: (1) Did you autolyse the flour and water alone for 30+ minutes before adding the starter and salt? (2) Did you do a preshape as well as a shape? (3) Over your next few loaves, do you notice any significant differences when you use different flour mixes in your starter and/or dough? Such as increasing the percentage of whole grain flours from 0% to 10% to 20% and even 30%, or experimenting with different hydration levels.
