Hey guys! I'm back from my short holiday and wanted to show you a typical day in the life of a prep day in my micro bakery and how I scale my sourdough. I have also just started working with my friend who comes to work for a few hours each week at Lily's Loaf and is helping me build my business!
I hope you find this useful and as ever thank you for your continued support.

Making/baking sourdough has gotta be one of the most relaxing/exhausting processes on the planet.

OMG You were in my head when you mentioned orange peel in morning buns AND caramelized onions! I always use orange peel in my morning buns and when I make Focaccia I absolutely love putting caramelized onions on top. Doesn't need anything else but the onions! I love watching you shape your loaves. That's my favorite part too! Nice to hear you had a break from every day life and a good time with friends.

Hello Lily, greetings from Austria. I love your videos - they are so inspiring! If you feed your starter in a 1: 1: 1 ratio, does it ripen in the refrigerator or at room temperature? As a hobby baker, I would recommend you to lightly oil your dough container with a vegetable oil or a non stick spray. The dough will come out without sticking. I'm looking forward to the next videos!

I really enjoy your channel. I bake every one to two weeks. I feed my levain and starter 1:2:2. I will have to experiment with a 1:1:1 keep up the great work.

I used to primarily use my hands .. until I remembered I had bought a Danish dough whisk and never tried .. Not only so much better, but virtually zero cleanup (major time saver! lol!) and, very importantly, no dough loss!

Hi Lily, I find using 2.2.1, water, flour to starter or even 3.3.1, will extend the fermentation process, lower the acidity of the ripe levain and I also find the gluten quality of the ripe levain is better thus stronger dough strength also. Worth a try. Love your vids.

@@LilysLoaf have spent the past 2 years building a small bakery from the foundations up beside my house. Built from scratch thermal oil 4 deck oven heated by wood pellets and I hope to fire it up for the first time next week, am so nervous that all ny designs and calculation were correct!!. You are so young and fearless fair play to ya for jumping right in. Love from the west of Ireland

Hey Lily, thanks for the great video again! Isn't your starter starving in the morning, if you feed it 1:1:1 in the evening? To keep it strong, it is also advised to feed it with bigger ratios. 1:4:5 (starter:water:flour) is usually a good one. It is time to feed when the surface slightly starts to collapse. You might need a bit smaller or bigger ratio of feeding to see what works for your timings. Love from NL

@mart62730 3 жыл бұрын

Have you experienced with different ratio? I definitly don't have as as much experience as you but I tend to feed mine with 1-5-5 ratio the night before (to bake in the morning) to get a nice boost of fresh yeast.

Hello. I don’t understand, you use rye sourdough for not rye flour? As I see it is whole wheat grain flour. I thought rye sourdough for only rye flour and wheat sourdough for wheat flour.
