I finally achieved my beautiful crumb on my 7th try. This was the bread I wasn’t meticulous with the measurements and oven temp lol, given I failed on my previous attempts. There are still wet patches though because I cannot wait and I’m hungry hahaha. I believe this was 60% hydration but not sure cuz I didn’t care with that on this attempt. There was also a brownout in our subdivision so my cold proof lasted beyond 24hrs hahahaha (I expected this to have a tangy flavor). I’ll have another try and post my recipe. I cannot rely on my measurements in this attempt since my kitchen scale is cheap and cannot detect enough the lighter weights (esp. less than 5g). I’ll just keep experimenting and share my progress here. 🥹

My Lazy Sourdough Recipe

333g Bread/1st class flour
208g filtered water
40g starter
5g salt

1. ⁠Mix starter and water until frothy.
2. ⁠Add flour and salt. Mix and let it rest for 1hr.
3. ⁠2 sets of stretch and folds. 30 mins apart.
4. ⁠2 sets coil folds. 20-30 mins apart.
5. ⁠Ferment for 2-3 hrs.
6. ⁠Shape the dough and sprinkle it with flour enough to feel “matte”, then place on a bowl/banneton/basket. Cold proof for 8-12 hrs.
7. ⁠Preheat oven to 200c
8. ⁠Remove dough from the fridge. Score the dough, then bake. Sprinkle/spray it with water on the first 20 mins. Let it bake until crust is golden brown in color (Total baking time is 40mins, you can adjust if you want more hard crust).
9. ⁠Let it cool, then slice. Enjoy!

It's a good thing I still have some mocha crème diplomat (also dusted it with cocoa powder)

Hello bakers, how can I improve my macarons? They have feet pero nagspread din e. I used Martha Stewart’s recipe.

Hunch ko is the higher temp I used. Recipe called for 160 C, but nagloloko oven ko and won’t sustain the fire unless it’s 180 C and up. So I baked them at 180 C for a lesser amount of time.

May you also suggest a coloring agent para maka-achieve ng deep dark red?

feel free to drop any suggestions and recommendations 🥰

i got bored and decided to bake brownies so i could have something to munch on while studying ^^

Hello! Please help po paano d matunaw ung mallows sa loob ng cookies pag binake? Tinry ko siya ifreeze with the dough, unang try maganda kinalabasan then ung mga next batch na parang mawawala na ung mallows sa loob after baking 😭 for this batch medyo nagthaw siya sa ref for 5 mins bago ko isalang sa oven yun kayo ang reason? Need ba na straight from the freezer ang pagbake para d agad matunaw ung mallows?
