Recipe no. 98 · mikilab.de/98

Strong flour W300

Sitor draft

Michele's touch: soaked breadcrumbs

In all my savoury recipes I add a little soaked breadcrumb, the «Brösel» (German bakers call it an old-bread soaker). It makes the crumb softer, brings crust flavour and keeps the bread fresh longer. Optional: the recipe works without it, but I always do it.

Dry breadcrumbs

50 g

Water

150 g

for this recipe, with 1000 g of flour

  1. The day before: stir the breadcrumbs and water into a soft paste. Cover and keep it in the fridge overnight.
  2. The next day: add all the paste to the final dough (not to the preferment), with the other ingredients. The recipe's water stays the same.

Use plain breadcrumbs, with no salt or seasoning. Best of all is your own bread from yesterday, dried and grated.

The why

This recipe's steps explained by Sitor (AI). The quantities stay Michele's.

Machine Sheet

Production Mode: Manual

Hourly Yield: ≈ 40-80 pcs/hour (by hand)

No machine active: manual work. Turn on the Machine Park in the Lab.

Roman-style tray pizza with high hydration (80%): light crumb and crisp base. The poolish the evening before adds aroma and digestibility; 24 hours in the fridge does the rest. Yield: 2 trays 40×30 cm. Rewritten by Sitor (AI) with complete quantities: a starting point to try.

Useful terms *

  • * Autolyse: an initial rest of flour and water (20-40 min) before salt and yeast; it develops gluten and makes the dough more extensible.
  • * Poolish: a liquid preferment (equal parts flour and water + a little yeast), ripens 8-16 h; adds aroma and softness.
  • * Full development (incordare): knead until the dough is smooth, elastic and pulls away from the bowl (gluten fully developed).
  • * Final proof (appretto): the second proof after shaping, before baking.
