��� Noname Sourdough

 

Say hello to Noname bread. I thought the testers would like to name it. This bread uses a 60% Motherdough with a long second proof. Motherdough can really help you achieve the dark reddish crust similar to Boudin sourdough. To make the 60% hydration Motherdough, combine the first three ingredients below and then allow the Motherdough to ferment at room temperature for 3 � 4 hours. Then in a covered container, refrigerate 2 to 3 days before using.

Mix until ingredients are well incorporated (about 2 -3 minutes) on medium speed and then let the dough rest (autolyse) for about 20 minutes. After autolysis is done, add the salt and mix the dough for 1 minute in your mixer on low speed. Allow the dough to bulk ferment, covered, for 5 hours. Place in a lightly covered container and refrigerate overnight. Next morning, take out the dough and uncover it, push it down and then allow the dough to warm at room temperature for 2 hours. Then shape loaves. If making more than one loaf, divide the dough.Shape each piece as desired, staggering the shaping 30 minutes apart. Keep dough that is not being shaped in covered container or covered with a damp cloth. When dough shaping is done, place in bannetons, lined baskets or couche. Allow the dough to proof at room temperature for about 2 - 3 hours (it usually takes around 2 hours). When the dough is done proofing, (push the tip of your finger into the side of the dough, if it feels bubbly, soft and the dent fills in slowly, it is ready). Turn dough over onto a dusted peel and slash the top of the dough.Then bake in a well preheated oven for 16 minutes at 425 degrees, using a baking stone and the roasting pan method of baking (this is explained in the baking chapter). After 16 minutes, open the oven and take off the roasting lid (be careful of hot steam). Continue to bake uncovered for another 16 minutes, turning the loaf after 8 minutes to evenly brown the crust. Cool, slice and enjoy!
