Thanks Bob, your loaf looks to be perfect in every way. I could tell from the pics of when it was sliced that the texture was ideal. Would King Arthur's bread flour work well? I tried a mix of 50-50 bread and rye flour recipe about a month back, came out like a brick. I still have a nice jar of rye starter in the fridge, as long as I'm going to be home and stirring the soup pot all day maybe I'll take another shot. RAY

Ray-
King Arthur bread flour will work.

A 50 -50 mix will not...it will come out like a brick.

Follow the original recipe. Has worked for me , many times over.

Ingredients

First Clear Flour 1lb 454gr 100 %

Instant Yeast 1 1/2 tsp

Water 8oz 237gr 52%

Salt 1 1/4 tsp 7gr 1.5%

Rye Sour 1 cup 230 gr 51%

Caraway Seeds 1 heaping tablespoon (to taste)

Image

P.S. The fresh rye starter needs to be prepared at least the day before you wan't to make the loaf. Like a preferment.

Thanks Bob, I went back and revisited page 15 of this thread. Question: after the loaf has doubled in size after the first rise, do you knock it back down, form the loaf, then let it rise again for a couple of hours? Ray

Flour is a very complex subject and for the home baker we have limited access to all of it.

Ray-

Just let it rise once. The (rye) starter has already fermented and adds to the flavor.

Thanks for all your advise Bob. I'm pretty sure I've got it all down now, even have my cast iron skillet dug out of the garage. Everything is on hold at the moment. My wife broke a tooth last night and my dentist just called to tell me to bring her in now. RAY

You need to stop using that new fangled frag ammo on those hogs.

Hey, I've never shot a raw carrot in my life! Just a nice new crown to look forward to and a cute silver temporary. We're taking off for Phoenix in a couple of days to visit my wife's cousin, it'll be fun to watch her try to keep her mouth shut. :mrgreen: RAY

Oatmeal cookies

Post by ssorllih » Sun Apr 27, 2014 02:25

Among all of the cookie recipes in the world I believe that oatmeal cookies are my favorites. The problem I have always had is getting consistency from batch to batch. A couple of months ago I found a formulation on the Archer, Daniels, Midland co. website for oatmeal cookies using bakers percentages. I just finished making the third batch and placing samples from all 3 batches it is not possible to differentiate the batches.

Bakng Frenzy

Post by sawhorseray » Sat May 03, 2014 23:12

Up and ready for a early lunch old Mother Hubbard discovered the was no bread in the cupboard. No problem, pound out a 8-pack of rolls using Ross' scalded flour method. I don't even need to read the recipe any more, it's foolproof and gives a great product every time.
Image
Lunch turned out to be some split pea soup full of wild hog ham and a toasted roll.
Image
The peanut gallery was screaming "we want pizza for dinner" viola, my favorite dough recipe:

1 cup water
1 large tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon dry milk powder
3 cups bread flour
1 large teaspoon active dry yeast

90 minutes later, nice first rise
Image
Dough shaped into the same size as the pizza stone, then sits covered for a hour while the stone goes into the 425° oven to acclimate
Image
First the sauce and mozzarella layers, each little piece strategically placed.
Image
Next a layer of salami, then pepperoni, wild hog Italian sausage, chopped onion, bell pepper, sliced black olives, a final sprinkling of shaved mozzarella just to hold everything in place. 425° oven for 18-20 minutes on the stone, happy family
Image
Soon the shipment of semolina flour and clear #1 will arrive from King Art, then it will be time for more ravioli and tackling Bob K's rye bread recipe. Life is good! RAY

I listed your recipe in the MRI and called it "Peanut Gallery Pizza Dough". :lol:
Thanks for sharing.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

Ray I can't imagine how many cops would make up the tactical team dispatched to put down the riot if you ever suggest ordering out for pizza. You do such nice work.

I'd think the most important bread recipe on this entire thread would be Ross' scalded flour bread. I use it every time, the 68-69% liquid works to perfection with any weight of bread you might want to make. I believe Ross is a master of baking all things, and if I have been remiss in any way of posting his recipe I'll make up for it right now. I can do this without looking anything up, done it a ton of times, never fails.

16 ounces bread flour
5 ounces milk
4 ounces boiled water
1 large egg
1 large tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1&1/2 tbsp micro-melted butter
1 large tsp dry yeast

Dump the four ounces of boiling water into the flour and let it sit. After that micro-zap the five ounces of milk for 15-18 seconds to get it around 100° (no more) and add the yeast to it. Stir it around occasionally for about 9-10 minutes until the yeast is bubbly and dissolved. I then dump all the ingredients into the Kitchenaid bowl and with the kneading hook work the dough for ten minutes at #2 speed. No Kitchenaid, no problem, knead the dough by hand for ten minutes. Work the dough into a ball, place in a lightly olive-oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap for two hours in a warm place to rise. Dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a couple of minutes, divide into eight equal pieces, form rolls or buns, cover and let rise for another hour before baking at 385° for 17-18 minutes. I like to brush the rolls with melted butter right before they go into the oven, and egg-wash works nicely also. This was such a break thru that I've never even tried to take the credit, in my house we refer to these as "Ross' Rolls". I was ready to throw in the towel on baking bread with all the bricks I'd been producing. Ross' guidance and recipe have led to a product that everyone craves and is repeatable every single time. I think it's the single best bread recipe on the planet, ever, of all time. Of course, that's just my humble opinion. :lol: RAY

I offered it up and Ray has refined it. About the equivalent of delivering a load of lumber and taking credit for the cabinet a craftsman builds. I don't make this recipe anywhere near as often as Ray does and he has perfected it.
