My Ankarsrum can make p to 5kg of dough.

The roller shown acts like fingers kneading the dough.

The initial rise in the bowl…

Shaped and placed in the Pullman tin for the second rise and then baked…

The recipe is pretty standard, although I always add a tangzhong to my initial mix which gives a much softer crumb, great for sarnies.

Who owns that posh mixer they are pricey ,looked at these a while back they are nice . Whenninwas choosing my Flour Mill .

Looking delicious!

What sort of hydration are you using for sourdough? I generally do the Tartine Country loaf and it’s 75%, I’d get in a right old mess having to do that by hand.

We’ve got a new oven with a dedicated bread setting which makes a real difference to achieving a good spring.

How does that work? I mean how is that achieved?

I bake at 230c for first 20 mins. That plus pre-heating the Dutch oven I bake the loaves in helps achieve good oven spring.

I might sound like a heretic but I like it with tahini at breakfast. I am addicted to Belazu tahini which is head and shoulders better than any other tahini I’ve tried - nutty and subtly smokey.
