Sourdough Pretzels

My first attempt at making sourdough pretzels. I followed the formula on the perfect loaf website. Needa work on the shaping a bit, and I'll probably reduce the salt a hair next time, but the taste and texture is fabulous.

One of my favs

I grew this bridgesii (front left) from a seed and saw some variegation early on. Grafted it and here it is today. It seems to be losing the variegation --maybe it'll return as it continues growing. I personally love the five ribs.

Two of my best loaves in quite a while.

Just finished these two loaves. Waiting now for them to cool!

How small is too small? (Grafting)

I had a failed graft for this Hulk's Balls so sliced off the little sliver that wasn't rotten and regrafted. (I do have 2 that successfully took, so this is just backup.)

I grafted it yesterday. Already feels pretty well attached....

* Should I leave the rubber band on it even though it feels secure?

* Even if it takes, is there enough material to actually survive?

Thanks!

First flower

Hi everyone. This is my first loph flower. It's labeled as Lophophora Williamsii N. Saltillo.

If I want to try for seeds, what do I need to do? Is this variety self-fertile?

Thanks in advance for any help. 🙏

Ein kleines Update: Brot in Deutschland backen

Servus! Ich hab hier vor ungefähr zwei Monaten gepostet zu fragen, wie ich mein Brot verbessern könnte.

https://www.reddit.com/r/brot/s/yCF3zSCrNp

Mein Endprodukt könnte zwar noch verbessert werden aber ich bin mit den aktuellen Ereignissen Ergebnissen zufrieden. Das Problem lag wahrscheinlich an der Garzeit und der Stärke meines Sauerteiges.

Das heutige Rezept:

  • Mehl 100%
  • Wasser 65%
  • Sauerteig 23%
  • Salz 2%

Methode:

  • Wasser und Mehl zusammen mischen und 30 Minuten lang Autolyse
  • den Sauerteig und das Salz einmischen
  • den Teig auf der Arbeitsplatte schlagen und falten ("Slap and Fold" Technik)
  • 15 Minuten stehen lassen
  • dehnen und falten, 4 Mal alle 25-30 Minuten.
  • nach der Einmischung des Sauerteigs insgesamt ungefähr 4 Stunden gehen lassen und dann in den Kühlschrank stellen
  • Am nächsten Tag aus dem Kühlschrank rausnehmen und 30 Minuten bei Raumtemperatur stehen lassen
  • den Teig in zwei Stücke verteilen
  • Preshaping und dann 30 Minuten Ruhezeit
  • Shaping und dann 1.5 Stunden gehen lassen
  • backen

Danke für die Tipps und Happy Baking
