Jewish sourdough rye loaves

Jewish sourdough rye loaves - sh.itjust.works

This was my first attempt at making a seeded bread (using caraway seeds to give it that traditional Jewish rye bread flavor). Came out really nice…flavor reminded me of the kind of bread I’m used to getting in the deli. It came out so good that I (obviously) had to immediately run to the store and pick up some sliced corned beef to make some corned beef sandwiches. The basic make-up was; 75% bread flour, 25% whole dark rye, 73% hydration. Oh yeah, and 75% of the liquid I used was actually dill pickle juice from a near-empty jar of store-bought dill pickles. It’s been hot here, and I don’t have air conditioning, so I used cold packs from the freezer to keep my fermentation bowl chilled in order to stretch out my bulk-fermentation time to 9 hours.

browser: how to control volume level watching youtube shorts. - sh.itjust.works

When watching regular youtube vids using a web browser, you control the volume level of the video using the volume control in the bottom left of the video. When watching youtube shorts, there’s a speaker button that mutes or unmutes the video, but there seems to be no way to set the volume level. Am I missing something or does youtube just not include that feature for shorts?

How to see all the communities an instance has blocked from other instances? - sh.itjust.works

It’s easy enough to look at https://[instance]/instances and see which instances a particular instance has blocked. But in the cases where an instance hasn’t completely blocked another instance but has blocked specific communities on other instances…where can I see/find that? So far, I’ve found that reading and parsing the modlog will reveal that if you are willing to search for it manually, but is that the only way?

To get a more sour loaf with more character, is it better to use more starter or less?

To get a more sour loaf with more character, is it better to use more starter or less? - sh.itjust.works

My starter is already quite sour and full of character, so if I use more of it, I’m directly adding those flavors sraight into the dough, but by using more starter it will result in less fermentation time, and less proofing time, which means less sour and less character developed through fermentation and proofing. On the other hand, if I use less starter, the dough is starting off with less of that initial flavor and character, but the lower starter amount means longer fermentation and proof times, which means more character in the final product. So which is more impactful to the flavors of the final loaf? The extra initial starter, or the longer fermentation and proof times?
