Recipes

If I gave you some dough, see this page!

This page is mostly a collection of baking recipe notes for my own use. There are tons of recipes floating around for the types of bread-adjacent food I like to bake, but I always need to remember what adjustments I want. So here are the cliff notes:

Sourdough bread

For a more thorough overview of my sourdough baking process, see here instead.

Ingredients

  • 260g starter at 100% hydration (130g each)
  • 600g water
  • 20g salt
  • 1000g flour

Notes

  • Makes 2 loaves of around 930g each.
  • Bulk ferment 4-8 hours until about doubled in size.
  • Proof overnight or longer in fridge.
  • Inner temperature should reach 190°F.

Sourdough pizza

Ingredients

  • 60g starter at 100% hydration (30g each)
  • 95g flour
  • 35g water
  • 10g EVOO
  • 3g salt

Notes

  • Amounts are for a single pizza. Adjust accordingly. Each pizza is 200g, good for 8-10".
  • Bake at 550°F, on pre-heated pizza steel, top third of the oven. For a much easier time, put parchment paper underneath pizza.

Bagels

Ingredients

  • 9g instant yeast
  • 480g bread flour
  • 12g salt
  • 9g barley malt syrup
  • 300g lukewarm water

Notes

  • Makes 10-12 bagels.
  • Bloom yeast in mixture of water and syrup before adding to dough.
  • Knead with a mixer until very stiff.
  • Bulk ferment until puffy, 60-90 min.
  • Flour well before proof to prevent sticking, and proof on greased parchment paper. Divide between two baking sheets to avoid crowding. Handle carefully after proof to avoid wrinkles.
  • Water bath in 2 qts water, 28g barley malt syrup, 14g sugar for 1 minute per side.
  • Bake 20-25 min. Flip midway through if desired.
