Sometimes, I think I'd be perfect for open a bakery shop near my house. I see to have a talent for this, especially with sourdough. I know sourdough is very familiar to those of you who live outside of Asia. Honestly, this technique has been around for a long time, but instant yeast is easier to find.
I learned a lot when I discovered that sourdough is very helpful in breaking down gluten, which is quite good for diabetics like me. I heard that using sourdough is better than using instant yeast, so I kept learning until I finally found WITY as my best friend.
The technique for making bread with sourdough is certainly similar to using instant yeast, but the challenge is time management with sourdough. I don't know, but I really enjoy learning with my sourdough every day.
Yesterday, I fed this sourdough with a 1:1:1 ratio for 5 hours. With 100 grams of starter, 100 grams of flour, and 100 ml of water. The results were very good and it's growing. The key to using starter for excellent results is the following: if tested for floating, it will float to the top.
So, I used just water with the following ingredients:
- 230 grams of high-protein flour
- 50 grams of starter
- 5 grams of salt and 20 grams of sugar
- 20 grams of butter
- Smoked beef, cheese, and cheese sauce
The above are the ingredients I used; making bread is that simple.
I mix the flour and water, then let it rest for 30-45 minutes. This is the most important step in making no knead bread that is still soft. Then I mix in the sourdough starter and butter, and also added salt. Kneaded for 5 minutes.
Repeat the kneading for 15 minutes, then knead for 2-3 minutes, about three times. Next, let it cool in the refrigerator overnight, for about 8 to 21 hours.
The cold ferment was complete and it was time to divide it into portions. I needed 50 grams per loaf, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
I took the smoked beef, cheese, and cheese sauce. Mixed them with the bread dough and let them rest for an hour.
In the meantime, we prepare the oven and baked it at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
The bread is ready to serve, and it's best eaten warm. Coffee, where's the coffee?!
See you the next time hive friends!

Hi! Let me introduce myself, its me Wita.
I'm just a woman who wants to write whatever's on my mind. I really enjoy cooking, occasionally traveling, and doing whatever I like. I want to live like a bird flying freely in nature. But I know I'm only human. So, I can only write freely like a bird that can fly with its two wings.
I'm usually very interested in new things. Let me be creative with at least these writings. I welcome any suggestions, as long as you mention them politely in the comments section. We can have a free discussion every now and then.
Don't think too much of me as you see in my posts. I'm just sharing what I have, and some of it is actually quite enjoyable to post. It's just that I don't really like posting bad things. I hope we continue to work together to build this Hive community.
