Bread flour burn chart?
No but I have beat gold medal bread flour and Kroger unbleached ap flour into the ground.
Time to try King Arthur brand for both.
I had been running 60 - 65 % water, that's all the GM and K flours would hold and it was messy at that rate.
I'm making a couple sandwich loaves with KA bread flour and some Kroger ap 50 / 50 % to use up the ap instead of toss it.
Consensus is that KA bread flour will do good at 75% and the K brand at 65% max so I decided 70% was gtg.
I wanted to cold proof 14 hours so My wife picked up a couple of aluminum pans.
They worked but still looking for plastic just the right size. Maybe I should invest in some bannetons?
I see videos on YouTube all the time and people have some expensive cast iron bread pan sets.
Invariably they are too stupid to wipe them down with ordinary cooking oil, let alone season them.
They have rust inside and out of 300 - 400$ pans. To top it off they buy silicone mats and use parchment paper all the time.
LMAO at them.
This is what a pan looks like when ready and the other may still be gtg but will get a very thin wipe of oil as well.
The only time something partially stuck was because of being full of olives, garlic and sundried tomato.
The bread falls out of the pans and Dutch oven, wipe off with a cloth and put the pan up.
Cooking pre seasons the pan each time.
If any of you new guys have come accross " bakers percentages " you should read up on it.
It is the basic language of bread makers every where.
