Any bakers on /ck/?

I make 14 loaves of bread once a week, and up until now, I've been working with a good, but pretty basic, white bread recipe. I've been wanting to make more than basic bread, though, so I think I might try for a poolish for my batch tomorrow. Here's what I have worked out so far.

Poolish:

2 lb whole wheat flour
2 lb bread flour
7 3/4 c water
1/3 c sugar
3 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

Ferment for 8 hours....

Add:

3 lb 14 oz bread flour
1/3 c salt
6 1/4 c water
2 c oil
a bit more yeast?

Rise, separate into ~1 lb 12 oz loaves, 15 minutes at 425 and 15 more at 375.

Thoughts?

I live on a rural commune and we tend to like doing what we can in-house. Daily bread, among all of our other cooking, falls into that category.

>>6142227

except making bread isn't fedora-tier, hell most of those guys can't cook at all

anyway, yes you should be using almost twice that much yeast

>14 loaves a day

are you in some sort of cult

>> No.6142255

>>6142244

We're officially a secular commune, and we don't have the "charismatic leader" model. It was founded in the late 60s as part of the hippy back-to-the-land movement, and honestly, people here have such disparate opinions about things that I doubt you could ever consider us a cult.

>>6142243

>anyway, yes you should be using almost twice that much yeast

So keep the amount the same for the poolish and add an equal amount after fermentation, or just double the amount in the poolish?

>> No.6142262

Baking is alot of experimentation and it sounds like you have a good recipe so far...try adding some chopped fresh spinach and feta cheese to a whole wheat bread sometime, it's some of my favorite or a braided Swiss egg bread which is similar to challah bread

You have to serve the lowest common denominator with the bread. The vegans here get all annoyed when they can't eat it.

>> No.6142272

>>6142262

That being the case, some of the bread makers love throwing in lots of seeds and extra stuff like that. More experimentation is definitely something I'd like to do after I get a good poolish recipe down.

I would just add a little less than twice the amount.

also the longer you let it ferment the less yeast you need so if you go like 12 hours you only need maybe 1/2 a tsp more than what you listed.

I start making the bread around 6:30 pm, and unless I have the dairy shift in the morning (which I don't tomorrow), I prefer not to get up at 6. Thanks for the advice, though. I guess I'll make it 5 1/2 tsp yeast in the poolish and see how it goes.

>> No.6142312

>>6142280

so how long do you let it sit? I can recommend based on that. What time do you bake it?

>> No.6142326

>>6142312

I'll probably have the poolish made by about 10 am, have the dough made by 7 pm, and get it in the oven around 9:15

Something from this season: Koufuku Graffiti. It's about cooking and cute grills.

Aside from that, Non Non Biyori or Nichijou are good for your non sexualized loli fix

then yeah 5 1/2 tsp should work well for you

I'll try to find a torrent then. Cooking and cute grills sound good to me.

I just downloaded Tatami Galaxy. Is it any good? All I've enjoyed so far is FLCL, Bebop, and Death Note. Plenty of movies too though.

Never seen Tatami Galaxy it's on my basically infinite backlog though.
Go watch HunterxHunter 2011 I doubt you won't enjoy it looking at the other stuff you watched.

Alright I'll check it out. I definitely like anime but there's just too much trash to sort through to find the good stuff. Just downloaded EoE and Paranoia Agent too. Pretty excited to watch those.
