Quarantine bakes

With flour in short supply I'm happy to have enough to get me through some bakes.

I've made a couple of 3 pound boules

Boule Heart The second boule didn't get the raise I was after. But it was still delicious.

Boule 2 Boule 2 Crumb Then some deli sandwich bread Deli white Deli white crumb

Some brioche sticks buns as well but there are no photographs.

I hope to get some more baking done during this time. I don't think I'll keep making such large boules to save on flour though ;)

Looks great!

One advantage of being home all the time is any fermentation schedule becomes possible. I've been doing a lot of overnight-in-the-fridge final proofs that used to be difficult because I had to be out of the house in the morning.

Fermentation Schedule

I can defiantly implement a longer fermentation now that I'm at home. Always looking for the silver lining

More bakes on 4/3/2020

First I have a very simple French loaf. 62%, 2%, 2% Basic French Later this afternoon I baked off some Focaccia

Focaccia 1 I decided to have a little fun and host a Zoom baking party with some close friends. We are going to bake focaccia. So this was my test run dialing in the recipe.
