 Yoshi's log stardate -299524.16 July 10th 2024


4:50 am 25'c inside 18'c outside 95% humidity. 


Communications between us and the ovens have broken down. They took 2 of our recipes today seemingly without remorse. It turns out getting in close can be dangerous as they are quick to sting the forearms. We were gifted 2 new pairs of long ove-gloves hopefully reducing the attacks from the metal monstrosities. 

Sold out streak is still going. And the response from the town really is overwhelming. I don't really have the words to express how grateful we are. Rusty is right i'm not sleeping well. This log is going to be a short one as i am out of lame jokes. I will leave you with this though. Today we tried a new recipe that i am very excited about so you will see that soon, also some new equipment so we can be more efficient and allow us to make different things. We are nearly there getting our basics down pat. Very soon i promise we will have new and exciting offerings.

Next log will be better. We are getting better every day.


Be Good and I hope to see you soon, same bread time same bread channel.


Yoshi

 Rusty's log stardate: -299960.81 Perth Ontario: Temp 5 C  humidity: 76% Basic Kneads: Temp: 24 C Humidity: 30% There are three questions I am asked several times everyday. They are: Do you have any Sourdough? Do you do anything gluten-free? and What time do you wake up in the morning?  So I thought I would tackle the first two quickly and digress with the third. Sourdough? Yes Please! Everyday we are making baguettes, country loaves and Euro loaves that use a sourdough starter. These loaves are NOT 100% sourdough as the starter makes up only 25% of the leavening agents. The taste is improved but the yeast does not break down the sugars in the same way that is necessary for diabetics and people with gluten intolerances to eat it. But fear not! Wednesdays we make a traditional 100% white sourdough, and Friday is Rye-Day, with a 100% sourdough rye. We bake them in 2 sizes and they sell out fast so its best to put your orders in in advance.  Gluten-free? Never hear...

5 Day Sourdough Recipe, Extended Edition

 5 Day Sourdough Recipe Extended Edition Hello my fellow bakers. This post is made to provide more detail to a basic recipe we provide to customers who purchase Bannetons (also known as Proofing Baskets) from our bakery. With that purchase we include Carl Jr, our active sourdough starter, so that you can save yourself the time and effort of bringing a starter to life from scratch. This recipe Makes 2 Loaves, so try different proofing, shaping and baking methods if you like, you can also bake one off and save the rest of the dough for the next day to see the difference. However you use, have fun and happy baking! Day One :   Feed Starter: 76g  This Sourdough Stater should be fed at a ratio of 1:1 Water : Flour The Quantity of this ratio is based on the recipe you are using. This the recipe calls for 76g of Starter so you will mix 38g of flour with 38g of cold water in a bowl, then add your starter (Carl jr.) and mix again. Place in a container large enough for the newly ...

 Yoshi's Log Stardate -299559.33 or July 23rd 2024 Inside 27'C and 59% Humidity Outside 24'C and 65% Humidity     Todays bake went flawlessly. We still haven't figured out a good name for the ovens and they continue to burn me when i drop my guard.      We got our new to us 20qt Hobart mixer (unnamed) that we will be able to increase the speed and/or volume of our production. We also placed our new display refrigeration unit in the entrance. The fridge will be used for dips and spreads that we will make in house and compound butters and tapenades and other things to go with bread. We are looking into some possible cold drinks and we have an electrician coming in this week to possibly install another plug so we can have coffee at the front entrance.      Next month we hope to have a Rye bread offering, but that wont start until we have our new routine down with the second mixer. We have an opportunity to offer a bread made with red fife f...
