Neglected Starter Sourdough Bread – King Arthur

  • 750 GR all-purpose flour
  • 250 GR whole wheat flour
  • 800 GR tepid water (75°F to 80°F)
  • 20 GR salt
  • ½ TSP Citric Acid (optional, to up the tanginess of the bread)
  • 100 GR sourdough starter (cold from fridge, fed in last week)

The Day Before The Bake:

This assumes starting ~8pm

  1. Combine ingredients in a 6-quart container. Mix the ingredients by hand until the dough forms a shaggy mass and the flour is hydrated.
  2. Set a 15-minute timer and leave the dough in the container at room temperature with the lid on.
  3. At 15 minutes, return to the container and fold by pulling the sides of the dough up with a wet hand, then pressing to the middle to seal. Repeat this on all four sides, then set the timer again for 15 minutes.
  4. Wait and fold the dough two more times. As you perform the folds you’ll notice that the dough smooths out, gaining strength and becoming elastic (more like a rubber band).
  5. Leave the dough covered tightly at room temperature (approximately 72° F) overnight (about 12 hours). If using a mixing bowl, place the bowl in a plastic bag. If using a 6-quart container, just put the lid on — the main point here is that the dough should be well-covered to keep the exposed surface moist.

The Next Morning:

  1. At 8am the next day (don’t be too uptight here — it could be 7am or 9am), divide the dough into two pieces. Gently form them into rounds, seam-side down, and rest for 10 minutes, covered.
  2. Generously and evenly dust two lined bannetons with all purpose flour.
  3. Shape the loaves into boules or batards. If your dough doubled on the overnight rise (the marked 6-quart container will help with judging this), put the loaves straight into the refrigerator. If it’s risen by just 50%, leave the loaves out for a bit (30 to 60 minutes) and then put them in the fridge. Note that the loaves should be covered with a shower cap or plastic bag.

8 To 12 Hours Later:

  1. To bake, preheat two Dutch ovens — approximately 4-quart size — in a 500° F oven for 45 minutes. (Make sure your Dutch ovens are tough enough to be preheated empty; not all are. Check the manufacturer’s literature.)
  2. Invert the risen loaves onto a sheet of parchment, score with a lame, and carefully place the dough in the preheated Dutch ovens. Replace the lids and return to the oven.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 450° F and bake for 20 minutes with the lids in place.
  4. After 20 minutes, remove the lids and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the loaves have deep color (and an internal temp of ~195° F).

NOTES:

  • Once you get the basic process down, you might consider adding seeds, toasted nuts, dried fruit, or even olives and herbs. As a starting point, for 1,000 GR of total flour use 200 GR of additions (in baker’s percentages that’s 20%). Keep all other measurements (water, salt, starter) unchanged.
  • As a general rule, anything dry (especially cracked or flaked grains, seeds, or toasted nuts) should be soaked in an equal weight of warm water for at least an hour — or even overnight — and strained before use. Olives and herbs don’t require this treatment as they’re already moist.

Yields 2 loaves of bread.

Pad Thai – Jet Tila

Sauce:

  • 4 TBS Thai fish sauce
  • 3 TBS bottled tamarind paste
  • 1 TBS lime juice
  • 1 TBS rice vinegar
  • 4 TBS sugar
  • 1 TBS Sriracha chili sauce (optional)

Pad Thai:

  • 2 TBS vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 TBS packaged shredded sweetened radish
  • 1 TSP dried shrimp
  • 3 – 4 C soaked medium rice stick noodles
  • 1 TBS paprika, for color (optional)
  • ½ C baked tofu cut into slices
  • ½ C chicken (cut into thin strips – 1″ lengths)
  • 2 eggs
  • 10 shrimp (peeled and cleaned)
  • 3 – 4 green onions (cut into 2-inch bias strips)
  • ¼ C chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 C bean sprouts
  1. Soak the dry noodles in a large bowl of warm water for about an hour. The water should be about 90° F, the noodles will start to absorb water, loosen up and be ready for the pan. If using fresh noodles, you can just open the package and add to the pan at the appropriate time.
  2. To make the sauce, combine fish sauce, tamarind paste, lime juice, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Make sure to stir well until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Heat a skillet or wok over high heat for about 1 minute or until the pan gets pretty hot. Add oil and swirl to coat pan completely. When the pan just starts to smoke, add garlic and stir about 5 seconds. Add turnip, dried shrimp and tofu and stir-fry until they begin to get fragrant, about one minute.
  4. Push ingredients in wok to one side and let oil settle in center of pan. Crack eggs into pan and add the chicken. As the eggs start to fry, just pierce the yolks to let them ooze. Fold the chicken and eggs over and scrape any bits that are starting to stick for about 30 seconds or until the eggs begin set. Now stir together to combine all the ingredients in the pan.
  5. Add shrimp allow to cook for about 30 seconds until they just start to turn color and opaque. Drain noodles and cook for about 2-3 minutes until soft. Add reserved sauce mixture and paprika and fold together until paprika evenly colors noodles and all liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  6. Place green onions in center of noodles, and then spoon some noodles over green onions to cover and let steam 30 seconds. Stir in 3 tablespoons peanuts. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with bean sprouts and remaining peanuts.
