Why Does Humidity Matter?

Whether you’re a bread baker, gun safe owner, greenhouse keeper, or\xa0musician,\xa0you know humidity matters. Plants and bread love it, steel and wood not so much. Either way, you need to know how much water is in the air before you can control the environment.

Homemade Sourdough Bread:
Times and Temperatures

Everyone loves a fresh, warm loaf spread with softened butter. But bread can be intimidating for many people to make, and so most of us rely on the store-bought stuff. We’re not here to criticize sliced bread, but we do think that reexamining the ease with which you can make quality, artisan-style bread is worthwhile. Read on for an in-depth examination of the mechanics of sourdough baking.

Tools Used in This Cook

Thermapen ONE

Using a method called autolysis (which is basically mixing flour and water, then letting it rest before folding), we can infuse more hydration and flavor into the dough. That enzyme process works best with water between 80° and 85°F (27° and 29°C), and Thermapen ONE is perfect for ensuring that threshold.

Extra Big & Loud Timer

Making sourdough bread takes patience. You’re mixing flour and water, then letting it rest. You’re folding the dough, but giving it 30 minutes between each folding session. You’re letting the dough raise, which takes a specific amount of time based on the temperature. Extra Big & Loud Timer makes sure you don’t miss a step.
