| Re: Playing with sourdough Second try at the Miche. No caverns this time, but there are some larger than I'd like pockets as you can see from the last pic. Flavor is great, but the texture of the crumb still needs work. I don't think my barm was quite as active as it needed to be.

| Re: Playing with sourdough You are really getting there with these loaves. Concentrate on technique and sticking to the formula. Gradually you will begin to eliminate variables and will be able to manipulate them to achieve any desired result you might have. I do believe that improving your shaping technique will help with these strange holes in the crumb of you bread. Something you are doing is creating this. Do keep in mind that when you begin to bake them in the WFO with the hot hearth you will be able to see those big ones originating in the lower portion of the loaves and extend upward into the loaf. All the best to you and keep learning! Dutch

| Re: Playing with sourdough Thanks! Once I finish this loaf off (man, 4lbs is a lot of bread), I'll try another. I agree that my shaping needs work. Hamelman's book has been a big help. I really like his techniques.

| Re: Playing with sourdough Fourth (I think) run with the basic sourdough. The flavor keeps getting better and better. Not dense at all this time, but the larger holes are still there. I imagine my shaping technique sucks. At least the holes don't effect the taste.

| Re: Playing with sourdough Is this Reinhart's Basic SD or Hamelman's. I do not have Hamelman's book so I am not familiar with his recipe. The bread really is looking good and irregularity in the crumb is good but...there is some variable that is causing these cavernous holes. I will try to come up with a suggestion.

| Re: Playing with sourdough Just a thought: once you divide and scale the dough pieces, you should do a preliminary shaping. The first step in that shaping is to pat the pieces flat with the palm of your hand (not too aggressively). This will eliminate most, if not all, large gas pockets. After a bench rest of about fifteen minutes (seam side up), you can flip the dough over, do the final shaping and into the baskets. Jim
