The first part of today’s bake ready for cold-proofing. I didn’t do a good job on the upper right loaf; the seam opened and I couldn’t close it because of the oily pesto. It will bake just fine. Right loaves: Mozz/Parm/Pepperoni/pesto. Left loaves: smoked cheddar/jalapeño. #sourdoughlife #MySourdoughJourney #sourdough #tangzhong #FDT

Four loaves of sourdough in their bannetons ready for cold-proofing. From the one o’clock position clockwise: boule of Parmesan/mozzarella/pepperoni with pesto (leaking pesto), batard of same flavor, batard of smoked cheddar jalapeño, boule of same flavor.

Just plain ol’ sourdough (Tangzhong method)…before and after #sourdoughlife #MySourdoughJourney #sourdough #tangzhong #FDT

Two loaves of unbaked sourdough in batard-shaped bannetons on a granite countertop

The two previously unbaked loaves of sourdough; baked, golden brown on a wire rack, cooling. It’s too bad you don’t have the version of mastodon that allows you to smell the images, because this bread smells so good.

Just another 3 hours 30 minutes to ferment before shaping and cold-proofing. #sourdoughlife #MySourdoughJourney #sourdough #tangzhong #FDT

Two rectangular plastic proofing tubs. On the left is a sponge containing mozzarella Parmesan and pepperoni. On the right is a sponge containing smoked cheddar and jalapeños. Both proving tubs will be covered and allowed to continue fermenting for about another 3 1/2 hours.

My levain didn’t grow as much today as expected. I’m assuming it wasn’t warm enough. This is delaying tonight’s bake. My mise en place is prepared. My Tangzhong is cooling. I’m starting in 20 minutes, ready or not.

If my levain isn’t quite ready, that just means the ferment will take a bit longer. #MySourdoughJourney #sourdoughlife #sourdough #tangzhong #FDT
