👋 Hello, my name is Adam and welcome to my microbakery. I've recently had the opportunity to launch into running it full-time, and here I hope to catalog all of the various ups and downs that come with it.
Thank you for coming along.

I just watched your video in which you are deciding to end your commercial bakery business and stay at home. That video encouraged me to subscribe and so now I have watched your entry into the bakery business and your video in which you take your leave from the business. As I said in my comment on that video I'm looking forward to watching all the videos that you have produced. Thank you for providing this journey for me to enjoy. Today is March 5, 2024

Dollar Tree stainless steel dog bowls to bake sourdough bread. 2 bowls x $1.25 = $2.50. I bake my sourdough bread, 1 pound loaf - 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup of start, 4 cups bread flour, two turns and folds with 20 minute rests between, 1 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp water, 3 more turn and folds. Total time turn and folds 2 hours. Divide into 2 loaves and shape. I rest, proof and bake the loaves in four 8" stainless steel dog water bowls from Dollar Tree, $1.25 each. One for the dough, one to cover. Rest and proof the dough in a dog bowl 12 hours in the fridge. Room temp before or after the fridge until dough ball is doubled. 475 F oven. Cook bread in a dog bowl 20 minutes covered with another bowl. Cook 12 minutes uncovered. Cool on a rack 1 hour. I taught this at a local university, supplying the bowls, start, flour, salt and water to the class.

sometimes I ad 1/4 of a teaspoon instant yeast to my sourdough recipe. It just gives a boost to the dough and my bread comes out with a beautiful spring!

@adamthegoodbaker Жыл бұрын

Interesting! I've definitely seen it done. Thus far I've had pretty good results with only starter. My ambition is to focus on naturally leavened products as much as I can.

@@adamthegoodbaker Adam, I stumbled upon your channel because I have watched so many other bakers and loved your honesty. So many bakers put only their best work out and you never see the struggles and failures. As a retiree I enjoy baking and have failures that can be frustrating and I like the way you handle your setbacks. Best of luck mate!

Loving the micro bakery!! I've made English Muffins a few times and they're always delcious but denser in appearance then I like. I use preferment and gridle cook them (5-6 min per side). The next time I make them I intend to open them without a knife. I will fork them open in hope that it will make the inside a bit more cragly. Best of luck on your endevour.

@adamthegoodbaker Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! You raise a good point re: the fork opening -- they'd definitely look craggier that way. But since this video I think my muffins have improved a long way. My starter is stronger and I'm managing the dough better. They definitely come out great on the griddle, but if I need to do like 40 or 50 of them I'd much prefer to chuck them in a hot oven 😂

My english muffins are the best thing I bake. sometimes I add the instant yeast and sometimes I don't, you are not being pretentious. I completely understand! Even when they are dense or wonky my customers and my family love them, but I am just as picky as you when I bake them.

@adamthegoodbaker Жыл бұрын

I've found people really like them too! I think the wonky aesthetic lets them know they were definitely made by hand 😂 I really appreciate the kind words.

I am looking for an oven to bake burger buns. My home oven just doesn’t get any color on my buns. Will this oven work for burger buns ?

@adamthegoodbaker 10 ай бұрын

These ovens can certainly make buns! Though I'd imagine you should be able to get good results at home as well. Ovens like this are a pretty serious investment 🤔

Your English Muffins look yummy. I’m a home bread baker here in NJ, USA, and have made them stovetop in a pan. Good luck to you and I’ll be watching, new subscriber here! Rob

Thanks Rob! I started out making English Muffins on a stove top as well. I switched to the oven method because it's much less hands on and easier to scale up :)

All sorts of stuff! 😂 I use them to make note of fermentation/baking times, write shopping lists etc. I also have "SET YOUR TIMERS" written across the top because it's something I often forget to do during bakes 😬
