In urma cu cateva luni, v-am povestit de problemele mele cu painea miche. Intre timp... ei bine... n-am mai...
V-am povestit zilele trecute, in postul precedent, de lupta mea personala cu formula San Joaquin Sourdough, formula creata de...
Buna codruta,
Am citit in postul tau ca ai o piatra lavica. Spune-mi , te rog, esti multumita de ea? Ce dimensiuni are? Am gasit pe net niste italieni http://www.shoppingstones.com care au pietrele astea si ma bate gandu’ sa imi cumpar una.
Eu am acum o piatra de granit si nu prea sunt multumita de ea. cred ca e cam groasa (2,5 cm) si nu imi coace painea la baza.
Multumesc.

Sally, yes, you’ve got the idea perfectly. Patience is not my strong suit, either… but persistence and determination are. If something is hard to make, I’m in. I can’t make a pointy batard? I won’t sleep until I’ll do it right. Miche scares me? wait and see what a lovely miche I’ve made yesterday. A year ago I thought I’ll never be able to make a miche. :))
Good thing I’m not obsessed with croissants or other fatty and sweet doughs. My arteries will thank me later for this lack of interest :)
Number 6 is my favorite, too, but 9 is the latest and its taste is still fresh in my memories :)
It’s an awesome formula, that’s why I tried it so many times.
I’ll tell you a secret about shaping a batard. I think I’ve watched hamelman’s video for making a batard like a million of times. It’s not the technique that I found to be difficult, but achieving that quality of a dough, that’s the secret! A good dough can be shaped in any form, a loose and poor structure dough, will only make a messy shape.
hugs, Codruta
my favorite is number 6, although 9 has a ton of character!
From what the translator allowed me to grasp, this post is a lesson on persistence, and every bread baker would learn a lot taking your approach. Sometimes I feel,I lack the patience to be really good and consistent about it.
Awesome job, awesome post!
(I still haven t mastered shaping the batard… :-( )
