Sourdough Baguettes - Day 3
Today is bread baking day! Lets get to it.
My starter from day 2 looks like this:
Measure 30g buckwheat flour:
Measure 70g whole wheat flour:
Measure 200g of bread flour:
Measure 200g water:
Add 10g of sea salt:
And a little active-dry yeast:
Put all the above together:
And mix it until a dough forms:
Cover the container and let the dough rise somewhere warm for two hours:
First set of folds; with wet hands, first fold left:
Then fold right:
Then fold far:
Then fold near:
Cover the container and let it rise again for two hours:
Second set of folds; fold left:
Fold right:
Fold far:
Dust a clean counter workspace with some flour:
Dust a clean kitchen towel with some flour on one half:
Gather the dough in the container into a little round shape:
Sprinkle it with flour also:
Then flip it onto the dusted work surface:
Fold it onto itself:
Cut it in half:
Flatten the first half into a rectangle shape:
And gently roll it into a log:
Place it on the dusted kitchen towel:
Flatten the second half into a rectangle shape:
And roll it into a log:
And place it on the dusted towel:
Dust with flour and fold the kitchen towel over them to cover while they proof for an hour:
Meanwhile, place the fourneau 2 in the oven:
Preheat it to 400 degrees:
Proofed loaves:
Gently flip one onto the Fourneau 2 peel:
Score it after covering the second loaf:
And slide it into the Fourneau 2:
Cover the hatch and let it bake for 20 minutes:
Open the hatch, move the first loaf out of the Fourneau 2 but keep it in the oven to bake for 30min:
Uncover the second loaf:
Gently flip it onto the peel:
Score it:
Slid it into Fourneau 2 and bake it hatch covered for 20 minutes:
Move it outside the Fourneau 2 and bake for another 30 minutes:
Place each loaf onto a cooling rack and let them completely cool off:
Slice and enjoy!
