Just keep in mind that the number of stretch and folds you do can vary, listen to the dough. It will tell you what it needs. Sometimes I do one less at night and do one in the morning. Where you live and your water could mean you need more or less water in the dough. I live about 10 feet above sea level and have soft water.

Welcome back

Caraway Seed Sourdough 200 g Sourdough starter 350 g Brewed Coffee, (90°F to 110°F) (start 275 g) 525 g APF(start 375 g APF, 75 g Rye ) 10 g Caraway seeds 11 g Sugar 12 g Salt 50 g yellow cornmeal, for coating the pan Stir together all of the ingredients except the cornmeal and salt in a large bowl. starting with 450 grams of the flour and 275 grams coffee. Let the shaggy mess rest for 20 minutes covered. Then add remaining 75 grams of APF, 50 grams of coffee and salt, Mix then let rest an hour. Then stretch and fold. Stretch and fold two hours after that and another 2 hours after that, the third stretch and fold is optional. Then refrigerate overnight in a lightly oiled bowl covered. The next morning let the dough come up to room temp for two hours. Then place loaf in a floured Banneton bowl, covered for 4 to 6 hours. It should become nice and puffy. Gently poke your index finger into the top of the loaf, if the indentation remains, your bread is ready to bake. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 450°F Put parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and cut to shape for dutch oven with tabs for handles. Put the cornmeal on the paper and gently roll the loaf on to the sheet and score the loaf however you like. Immediately put it in the oven. Turn oven temp down to 435°F immediately after putting the bread in the oven Bake the bread for 30 minutes and remove lid, cook an additional 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap it on the bottom. The interior temperature of the bread should register at least 205°F on a digital thermometer. Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and allow the bread to remain inside for 10 additional minutes; this helps keep the crust crisp. Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a rack. And wipe any excess cornmeal off the bottom.

My KK is so old the wheels are square 👺

A dog food scoop works well for getting the bulk out from the top, then the shop vac.

I've been making caraway seed rye and pumpernickel, i'd be happy to post the recipes if anyone would like them

Well the chickens look good 😁

Just take the clip off the probe, feed it through the hole then put the clip back on.

That’s a great looking loaf of bread 👍

Forgot to take pictures while cooking but did a quick reverse sear on an 8 Oz filet earlier today. The onion rings were air fried

Beautiful chicken 😁

I was shooting a baseball game yesterday and someone somewhere within nose shot of the field was smoking a brisket. It smelled amazing, first thing I did when I got home was go through the freezer and I found a bag with a few slices of my last brisket, oh did I need that lol

A friend told me that Dennis probably included that screw in my order cause he could tell I had a screw loose. I think she made that up but what do I know 🥸

I think it is bigger than LA 👍 Well more populated, LA only has 4 million according to Google

We do actually have a couple members from down there 😁

Where do you live ? Maybe there is a member in the area that could assist ?

That seafood looks fantastic !!!!!!

The BB32 is so easy to keep a steady temp. Much easier than either of my previous ceramic style cookers. But for anything over 5 or 6 hours I will use a controller just as others have mentioned, so I can go about my business without having to even think about my cook.

Female eastern bluebird, this is the male

And just an FYI, tiles cook better food, it is a known phenomenon that the pebble people just have to learn to deal with

This is what I do while walking

I took advantage of the nice weather Tyrus was talking about. I mixed up some bell pepper and onions with chicken stock and some spices and simmered them in the KK while getting ready to cook some sausage from SouthMarket BBQ in Elgin TX. While that was going outside I made some rice pilaf inside. Once done I combined everything and let it simmer for awhile. Then served with stuffed cherry pepper and one of my favorite cheeses. It made for a nice meal after an 8 mile walk in the morning.

Nice looking bark !!!!
