๐Crumb Note: Confidence In Hydration ๐ค๐ผ๐ง
I figured since this month is about hydration experiments I'd talk about something I see so often on social media concerning high hydration loaves. Even I fell victim to it in the past...
Here's a fact, you're going to see me handle any dough with confidence... even if confidence is far from me๐
Confidence!! I'm not just talking about a mental assuredy that you can do it, I'm talking about confidence in motion.
When your mixing, stretching, and/or shaping, the stickiness makes you pull away and possibly regret your decision lol. But what your high hydration dough needs is swift, confident motions - and wet hands so it doesn't stick to you as much๐คช
You dominate your dough, you're in charge! It WILL come together as the gluten develops. The Rubaud method is a great mixing method for this! Slap and folds? Man they're so fun with high hydration ๐คฃ but can get a little messy. Shaping? Lightly flour the your shaping surface and you'll be just fine!
Don't hesitate to touch it! Don't be afraid of it lol. Dominate your dough!๐ช๐ผ
Tell us about a time you felt not so confident with your dough๐ฌ๐
