My Sourdough Bread Process in my RM2020 Oven (updated)

[@HardestEli]

Well, I just found your channel and I find it well deserved and needed the update your kitchen got within the span of one year. It’s impressive!

[@veronicavatter6436]

Lily! Look how far you have come! It's amazing to see your growth and passion for your bakery

[@LilysLoaf]

thank you Veronica!

[@miguelaguirre1233]

i really enjoy with your blog and videos. I love it!. Its make me believe in a nearly future that i could open my own bakery.

[@thesewinggarden7311]

Fascinating! I had no idea that anyone measured the temperature in the air and the flour before mixing! I knew there were discrepancies, but never knew anyone made adjustments for them, but that really makes sense. A second stage of water? There is a lot of science and timing going on here! This makes me appreciate your gifting all the more. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Lily,lovely as always...my first thought is my goodness it must consume a lot to keep the oven warming up for two and a half hours!!mine is gas and takes about 10 minutes..it's so helpful for me,also having a micro bakery,to see the whole process..it's really informative,thank you so very much,🥰

[@breadphilharmonic]

Hi Lily. Thank you for creating and sharing this video. I just started baking with my Rackmaster2020. I love it, but I haven't been able to dial in on a good baking profile. Your suggestion to load at 250, bring temp down to 210, and then bring back to 250 for remainder of bake is very helpful! Would you mind sharing how much time after unloading you wait before loading next batch? Many thanks again, and beautiful loaves!

[@LilysLoaf]

my pleasure! ooh how exciting! hmm it depends how busy I am, but I try and wait at least 10-15 mins in between batches as the temperature does drop dramatically after adding steam

[@breadphilharmonic]

[@ayresysarmy4044]

Hey Lily, please could you further explain that water temperature calculation? My kitchen temperature is really inconsistent and I think this could really help 😊

[@LilysLoaf]

hey! Have you tried following the formula I share on screen? x

[@pierrex3226]

This guy talks about it in around 50 of his videos, it's fundamental to baking professionally (where you need consistency) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bauWeXidiaZ5ebs Channel is "boulangerie pas a pas". Over the years he got better at making english content and or good english subs. Any serious book about baking will also cover that topic.

[@simonrecovery8682]

hi Lily -- great to watch this and I love the scale of your operation. I'm curious about approximate quantity of dough per container you are using there for bulk fermentation -- and what is approximate volume of each container? Any insight? Cheers, Simon

[@LilysLoaf]

hey, thank you! So the containers are either 20 litre/ 26 litre in volume and I fill them only a third full (ish) so there's room for the dough to grow throughout the bulk fermentaion: www.nisbets.co.uk/nisbets-essentials-polypropylene-full-size-gastronorm-container-without-lid-200mm/fa822?vatToggle=incvat&plaid=1&cm_mmc=PLA-_-19652062308-_-148686295889-_-FA822&cm_mmca1=go_19652062308_148686295889_647495878734_pla-597855165486_c_&kpid=go_cmp-19652062308_adg-148686295889_ad-647495878734_pla-597855165486_dev-c_ext-_prd-FA822_sig-Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJT1uHEvuU6SSAIcD9V_OnEcoMl3hDky6E0M0ZUgRu_v_hmFDrYOa90aAqsvEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJT1uHEvuU6SSAIcD9V_OnEcoMl3hDky6E0M0ZUgRu_v_hmFDrYOa90aAqsvEALw_wcB

My dough has been sticky after initial mix, and especially after autolyse. Any tips or tricks on why this might be? I’ve been doing 75% hydration and mixing longer in my large mixer after autolyse.

[@wyldeman7]

My dough is always sticky. It probably a flour thing because my dough never looks like anyone on KZbin and their dough. How I handle this is folds and forming a dough ball on the table. The more you fold it and stretch it into a tight ball the less and less sticky it becomes. Just cover your hands in a little water every now and again toward the beginning.

Hi there! You mentioned something about a rm2020 group? How can I join it? Thanks

[@tglenn3121]

Hi, Lily, So, with regards to the RM2020, obviously it gets hot inside the oven, but how much heat does it put outward (toward the room it's in). If it's on, can you feel the heat from it if you're standing, so, 2-3m away? I'm considering buying one,. but I'm also somewhat concerned about how much heat it radiates outward.

[@LilysLoaf]

hello! So the room definitely does warm up but I wouldn't say you can feel it unless you are less than 1m away/ touching the door (which I wouldn't recommend anyway!); it's never unbearable as long as you have a window open/ door open keeping the room well ventilated especially when releasing steam. It's a very well built piece of equipment :)

It's best to get a smidge from someone. Or purchase a well known starter for $5 - $10. If you make your own it seems it will never be a strong viable sourdough, at least not right away.

[@viella90]

I find that using a mix of rye and whole wheat works best for mw. Don't use bleached flour for your starter. There are some really good videos by Foodgeek and Bread Code about making your own starter. It will take about a week if you start from scratch but it's very fun to do IMO
