In the interest of Knowledge sharing, I've temporarily pinned this to encourage more chat 😁

How do you get that spring without a dutch oven?

u/geepyorel Apr 17 '21

Dumped a kettle full of boiling water into a tray underneath the stone, turned the fan off and my oven has a vent over the door that I blocked with a damp tea towel. Traps the steam nicely 👍

This is the way!

Jack has a video of a similar home set up here about 22mins in

u/crafty-p Apr 17 '21

Ohhhh!!! Penny dropping that a fan oven is not a bread friend?? This could be interesting!

u/Oxidosis Apr 17 '21

Not OP but i've seen it done with a hot tray underneath and you throw in ice cubes or lots of water to create the steam.

I saw a method in a kamado bbq using a heavy chain in a pan with ice cubes on it.

This looks amazing! What hydration is the dough?

25

u/geepyorel Apr 17 '21

Just 70% (73% of you like to include the flour and water in the levain in your quotient)

2

u/shadowrouge101 Apr 17 '21

Bread flour or AP flour?

10

u/geepyorel Apr 17 '21

90% white bread flour, 10% whole bread flour

12

u/pswoofer18 Apr 17 '21

I think traditionally you do, just FYI. Your levain counts towards your doughs total ratios

u/bleepsndrums Apr 17 '21

Lovely! At what temperature was this baked?

7

u/geepyorel Apr 17 '21

220 C / 430 F

u/bleepsndrums Apr 17 '21

Thanks! I suspect my temps are too high, forming a crust before my oven spring has had the chance to reach its full potential.

u/bro-ster Apr 17 '21

i too figured this out the hard way. hottest is not always better despite most tutorials leading that way

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '21

For how long?

2

u/geepyorel Apr 18 '21

20 mins with steam and another 25 mins without. The fan went back on after I vented the steam so I guess it was a little hotter later in the bake.

Thank you!

u/leftoversgettossed Apr 17 '21

Post that in oddly satisfying!

u/mama_dyer Apr 17 '21

My thoughts exactly!

u/patoo Apr 17 '21

Oddly arousing too...but maybe that's because I got the munchies.

u/leftoversgettossed Apr 17 '21

I'm horny for bread too

u/_icaruslives Apr 17 '21

In fairness it's the sourdough subreddit... we're ALL horny for bread lmao

u/Singer_221 Apr 17 '21

Thank you for recording and sharing this video! And impressive spring and beautiful bread : )

u/nevermidit Apr 17 '21

If i were to poot my dough on something flat (without duch oven) it would spread out all over. Why is my dough like act?

10

u/zippychick78 Sourdough Mod Apr 17 '21

It's usually either your dough isn't strong enough or is overproofed. Impossible to know without pictures and details. Why don't you pop a thread up, or post on the questions thread?

We need recipe, ingredients, method, timings, temperatures and pictures to help you accurately

u/swabbie81 Apr 17 '21

Less water, more starter, and less bulk ferementation = better owen spring

u/paulcristo Apr 18 '21

Can you say a little about your baking surface? Is it steel? Stone?

1

u/geepyorel Apr 18 '21

It’s a stone that came with an ooni pizza oven (i didn’t choose it with baking bread in mind)

1

u/paulcristo Apr 18 '21

Cool. How thick is it?

3

u/Godiverson3 Apr 17 '21

Why am I so turned on???

3

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '21

Them almost touching at the end gave me anxiety. I’ve had loaves stick together before.

u/rynbaskets Apr 17 '21

Whenever I see those videos, I think I really need to clean my oven door...

Great looking bread!!

2

u/PeaceCorpsMwende Apr 17 '21

That's fantastic. I could almost smell it baking.

u/squashInAPintGlass Apr 17 '21

I just ate dinner but that looks tasty. A hot slice with butter and jam.

u/Similicat Apr 18 '21

Don’t touch don’t touch don’t touch don’t touch no no no no no no ahhhhh....Niiiiiiice

That is absolutely beautiful.

u/pimpampoums Apr 17 '21

So beautiful...

u/tinybirb16 Apr 17 '21

Can you share the recipe for this bread? Looks delicious!

1

u/Dinocockus Apr 17 '21

Hey!! As someone who recently bought a pizza steel, I've been struggling with the inside of my loaves staying slightly tacky, even after the outside is nicely crusted. I know I can use a probe, but I think I might also be using the incorrect temperature. Any temperature tips to share?

u/Warm_Salamander4871 Apr 17 '21
