Everything you need to know about using fats in sourdough

Everything you need to know about using fats in sourdough

At the Sourdough School, we use a vast range of fats in our bakes. Understanding how to use these fats is key, particularly in sweet sourdough baking. For more advanced bakes, such as a Danish pastry with its complex structure, you will sometimes need to use a sweet starter. Cakes and simpler bakes

Cheese & Onion Potato Sourdough Flatbreads

This is a recipe I turn to often in the cooler months – there’s something about the combination of bread, cheese and potato that is very comforting and warming. They make a great addition to a packed lunch, and my kids love them with a steaming hot bowl of baked beans (beans in tomato sauce). You

Sweet Chocolate Sourdough Tagliatelle

Soft, sweet chocolate sourdough tagliatelle is one of the things I turn to when I need comfort food. And at this time of year, the last month of winter and in lockdown, comfort is what we all need. I've been making sweet pasta for many years, and I am always amazed that it is not mainstream,

STRETCH AND FOLD
With sourdough, the gluten doesn’t need developing by kneading. Trust me, you will get a better rise and lighter loaf by using the long, slow fermentation to align the gluten molecules instead of kneading. Just leaving the dough to ferment, with a few simple stretches and folds to help, will result in a gluten structure that gives the bread the complex network of sticky strands that capture the CO2 as the yeasts get to work consuming the sugars in the flour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gentler is better. Do more early on. In fact, less is sometimes better, depending on the flour...

#repost Beautiful post from @cecileglorieux 🇨🇵 Comme tout le monde, j'ai commencé l'an dernier à faire du pain. C'est un peu faux d'ailleurs, car j'en ai toujours fait, ça et là avec de la levure.  En habitant en France, pas besoin de faire du pain. Et puis, il y a 2 ans et demi, quand nous sommes venus vivre au Royaume-Uni, j'ai ressenti le manque, ce morceau de pain qui fait parti de mon identité, de ma France. J'ai commencé à faire mon levain. puis plusieurs. Je lis, je teste, je m'amuse beaucoup, je rate, je réussi, et surtout, chaque jour, j'y prends un peu plus goût (et là 2, petits pains miso sésame noirqui se feront dorer la pilule demain matin // 🇬🇧 I was about to say that I started baking bread last year but it is not entirely true. I always have, here and there, made some. To be honest, when you live in France, I hardly see the point. Moving to the UK, I felt the urge to connect with that part of my French identity.  Bread is important for us. I started making my sourdough like many others. I had 1 starter, then 2 then several. I test, I read, I fail, I succeed, I learn... but most of all, I enjoy myself a bit more each day (these 2 babes are sourdough with miso and black sesame seeds, largely inspired by @vanessakimbell 's recipe which was brought to my attention by the excellent @vilainlevain ).
