It saves time and electricity.
I think I got the idea from chainbaker on YouTube and find that it works just as well.
In this case I was also doing baguettes so I had the oven preheated with the other loaf.
Recipe:
Ingredients: 70% Bread Flour. 30% Whole Wheat (emmer this time) flour.
20% chopped dates and apricots soaked in earl grey tea, drained well reserving liquid. 15% chopped nuts, lightly toasted. 2.5% NaCl. 0.7% instant yeast.
78% H2O, use the soaking liquid from the dates as half the water.
Method: Mix all the flours and water, cover, let rest/autolyze for 30 minutes.
Fold/pincer in the yeast and salt. Cover and Rest 10-15 minutes.
Fold in the dates and nuts. Cover Rest another 10-15 minutes, until the dough relaxes a bit.
Fold one more time, then room temperature bulk, 2.5 hours
Shape and room temperature proof 1 hour.
Put loaf into cold Dutch oven, put Dutch oven into COLD oven and set 230c
Cook in Dutch oven 30 minutes covered.
Uncover and turn oven down to 220c for 30 minutes.
It always needs five more minutes, even if it already had five more minutes
Let cool if you can.
En Guete!

All I want for Christmas is U²³⁵
Some one has to keep the chipmunks out of them.
Hey I'll give you grams are better for mass, but Fahrenheit is more useful to me.
Happy Swiss National Day! I continue my annual attempts to replicate the Gold Bürli from https://www.sternengrill.ch/
687g bread flour 113g spelt flour 640g H2O 18g NaCl 4g instant yeast
Mix water and flour to shaggy dough, rest 30 minutes.
Fold in salt and yeast, rest 30 minutes, fold again.
Cold bulk overnight, 2 more sets of folds before bed.
Shape, and room temp proof while oven preheats to 450f.
I decided to flour half the tops and spray the other half with water.
Bake 20 minutes, rotate pan.
Turn oven down to 420f, bake another 10 minutes.
I went back to my alt on Lemmy.one then they just announced they are shutting down too, so I started a Lemmy.today account. Seems fine so far.
They've been making the news, I've heard the tacos are amazing
It works great without a Dutch oven, you should probably preheat the oven though, and maybe use some steam. Or don't and let us know how it goes.
En guete!
