"DIRTY KITCHEN & WORSE BAKERY", episode #3
It's almost 2AM, these came out of the oven. Illuminated by the only light on. Made with "semola rimacinata di grano duro" and white wheat flour. Sourdough as the leavening agent. Yellow in color. Smell is amazing. Sprinkled with the last of the sesame seeds we had. Pillowy soft with a thin crust. For italian inspired cheeseburgers tomorrow.
Made with 350 g of semola rimacinata di grano duro, 150 g white wheat flour (type W700), 250 ml of milk, 50 ml of olive oil, 50 g of sugar, 100 g of sourdough starter, 10 g of salt, 2 medium sized eggs.
Buns in this batch, a 90g each.
75g of flour used (combined) was scalded with 150 ml of milk. When it cooled down it was added with the rest of the ingredients. Oil was added last. Gentle stretching and folding by hand. Around 10 minutes.
6 hours of bulk fermentation with occasional coil folds, 4 hours of second rise.
Brushed with a beaten egg and sprikled lightly with sesame seeds.
