Have been struggling to get a nice oven spring/big belly with my loaves. Learnt through this sub that US bread flour has diastatic malt added to it but Aussie flour doesn’t.

Added 1% dmp to my latest loaf and am loving the results. Seems to have improved dough extensibility. Nicer oven spring and darker colour. Also got bigger bubbles on my crust which I never got previously.

Recipe based off Natasha’s Baking recipe https://natashasbaking.com/quick-sourdough-bread/

140g levain + 270g white flour (11.7% protein) + 30g wholemeal flour + 223g water + 7g salt and 3g dmp

1hr Fermentolyse, add salt. A couple of stretch and folds. Laminate. Coil folds until dough felt strong. 13hr bulk ferment (dough started at 22C and went down to 18C by the end of bulk ferment). 6hr cold proof cos I was impatient haha. 230c lid on 25 min, 220c lid off 22 min.

    Looks good. Where did you source your dmp from?

    I just ordered my stuff from Basicingredients 🥲 if you posted last week then I would’ve ordered DMP 🤣

    I’m super exited to bake for my first ever sourdough when my ingredients arrived.

    Can I please know what flour did you use?

    Thanks 🙏
