The crust and crumb are perfect. I can almost taste the buttery flavour if this bread. Well done!
Very kind.
Those are great looking loaves.
That crumb looks so soft.
Well done :)
Thank you very much.
That is a beautiful bake. I love the crumb and the very thick crust - reminiscent of Pane di Altamura. As one of several people in this forum who have been attempting (with only moderate success in my case) to achieve something like this result, would you mind clarifying a few details?
-when you say "dry starter" does that mean a low hydration starter or dry commercial yeast? (I assume the starter because 12g of yeast seems to be a lot for that amount of poolish, but I have been wrong before.)
-are you using rimacinata flour? (again I am assuming so)
-what is your kneading process?
-what are the baking parameters that give such a thick crust while maintaining the golden color crust?
Grazie!

I apologize for my english. I try to explain.
Dry starter is Sourdough in powder with yeast starter ( saccharomyces cerevisiae ) and malt flour...in the picture
I used rimacinata flour, in Italy it is very used :-)
I did four hours of autolysis ( 50% of water ) and knead for 10/11 minutes with spiral mixer.
Baked in the oven: 250°C * 10' 220°C * 15' 200°C *15'
The colour depends, in part, from malt flour
Tu parli inglese multo buono, io parlo italiano solo un po'.
Ringrazi per la tua spiegazione, è molto utile. Proverò di riprodurre il risultato con la farina "Extra Fancy Durum" americano e spero che sia abbastanza simile. Non ho visto questo tipo di lievito negli Stati Uniti, quindi dovrò sperimentare per cercare di duplicarlo. Scriverò qualcosa se io sono anche un po' di successo.
Grazie,

Hi Gaetano,
I just posted some of my results based on your formula. It is a little different, but without your original post it would have taken me much longer to get there. Grazie mille!

You are very good. Soon try again to make bread of Altamura, I want to ask some advice to a friend of mine in those areas :-) then I will share with you what I can do.
