    I am trying this recipe for the first time today. Your video really helped me understand but what do you mean by "medium protein flour"? I use King Arthur Bread Flour. Is that not a good choice for this bread? Thanks for the clarification.

    • @theperfectloaf
      @theperfectloaf 16 часов назад

      Hey Anna. That's a little higher protein than I usually use, but since this dough is so highly hydrated, that's what I would go with!

    If I have active starter and I follow all your directions what causes the bread to have the fullness and lift you have? Also your dough seems twice the amount than what I had...

    • @theperfectloaf
      @theperfectloaf 16 часов назад

      Hmm. It might be that your dough isn't strong enough. Usually spreading in the oven, which is what you might be seeing, when scoring is a sign of under-strengthened or over-hydrated dough (or a combination of both, as they are related). If you find you’re still getting significant spreading, try first to add in another set or two of stretch and folds during bulk fermentation (or you can knead the dough a bit before bulk begins, check out my guide to the slap and fold kneading technique). If that doesn’t help, reduce the hydration of the dough by 2-5% to bring more strength. Finally, it’s also possible your dough is over proofing, leading to a breakdown and excessive spread in the oven. If your dough felt strong and you shaped it tightly, try pulling back that final proof time a few hours (if you’re cold-proofing) to see if that helps. If it does, continue to dial in that proof time until you have a strong dough when baking. I hope this helps!

    I’m trying for the second time to make one loaf buy halving the weights. This time around, I paid more attention to the instructions and wrote everything down. By the time you see this, I will probably either have succeeded or failed, but I am struck in the one loaf recipe that it would only take 75 grams of levain. The seems lower than any one loaf recipe I’ve tried is it because it’s a Levane and not a starter? To add more in a few hours when the time comes, but I’m trying to follow the recipe exactly. Thank you for your videos. I go to them over and over now instead of all the hundreds of others, I’ve watched.

    What happened to the dough in the second basket? I keep looking for a place where he combines them but can't find it. Did he save and freeze one dough loaf, or combine them? the final loaf looks quite large. I ask as a newbie who may or may not be an idiot. Absolutely love this video though, it is so much more detailed than most.

    • @theperfectloaf

      Because I lengthen the interval a bit and feed every 12 hours, once in the morning and once in the evening. The smaller amount of ripe starter carryover lets it ripen for longer.

    Hey Maurizio.

    • @theperfectloaf

      To me, rotating it doesn't make it easier or lazier, it ensures even strengthening across the dough. Interesting comment though! there's really so many ways to do this 🙂

  • @welshrarebit1153
    @welshrarebit1153 15 дней назад

    I find that my dough gets progressively sticky with each stretch and fold as opposed to becoming smoother. I have to add that I add about 5-10 per cent whole wheat flour. I made my levain using 1/4 cup starter 1 cup of water and 1 1/2 cups of flour and I used maybe half of this in the dough because when I used all of the levain in proportion to the equivalent of 5 cups of flour i ended up over proofing it. So I decided to err on the side of caution.

    • @theperfectloaf
      @theperfectloaf 6 дней назад

      That's very interesting. It should smooth and strengthen over time, unless it's proofing much faster than you think!

I drizzled some seeds over (everything bagel style), and fresh out of the oven I added a touch of butter (not necessary, but it’s so good).

I was looking for a recipe on your website and saw that you have neve used emmer before and that you also don't have a recipe with a high percentage of whole wheat einkorn.
