Do you know what % hydration? I'm terrible at subjectively judging these things

So, I need to make some pizza dough preemptively, as in the night before.
I just make the shit and leave it in the fridge and it ll be good to go for the morning, right? The fridge will retard the expansion putting it in prime dough form for the following day?

It has been a while since I used the old bread maker.
What are some esoteric breadmaker recipes I could make?
Evan Kelly
Should be fine to do, I would take it out at least an hour before needing it if not longer though to allow it to warm back up.
Lincoln Baker
That and for ease of stretching the dough. Gluten tightens up when cold.
For better oven spring, make sure to watch the dough when you turn it during bulk ferment.
For my breads (OP here) i like to bulk ferment for about 4-6 hours (watch the dough) with the necessary folds, and then shape and proof in baskets in fridge. Bake straight out of the fridge, the spring is much much better, easier to pop dough out of basket (dough in OP is 75% hydration), and you can bake anytime.

i've had it before once, it seems really bizarre, but the sour and the chocolate just kind of works. it's hard to find something to compare it to.

Finally got my starter to double in size the past few days. Going to make my first sourdough in the morning. I don't own a dutch oven. Should I go with pic related, or use my cast iron skillet with some water in pan beneath it for steam?
Elijah Nguyen
Cast iron.
Pic related will crack.
Make sure the water you put in the pan is already boiling so you get that initial blast of steam.
Alternatively, if you have a mister, just spray inside the oven 10 minutes before baking, and then real quick when you put the bread in

Why do you say the casserole dish will crack? It's been used in the oven hundreds of times over decades. Granted, I've never used it, so I don't know what temperatures it was used in.
Owen Russell
Yeah, I just looked it up, Pyrex has a limit of 500 degrees Celsius (932 Fahrenheit). It won't crack. So, the question remains: covered in that grandma ass shit, or uncovered in iron with steam.
