I decided to have a baking session yesterday. I had discovered that my
sourdough levain had gone really dormant and it took a few feedings to get it up to strength. I then made a poolish with all the water and half of the flour with some of the levain and left it overnight. I made the dough in the morning and while it was proofing, I went to the store to get the ingredients for some chocolate-pistachio-cranberry muffins. In the relatively short time I was out, the dough almost tripled in volume indicating a now healthy levain. I made 3 loaves: https://postimg.cc/qgxgvMmV Then I made the muffins following a recipe from the British Bake-Off competition. I followed the recipe very carefully. $7 worth of pistachios and about $11 worth of chocolate in the mix and another ~$7 worth in the ganache!! The cupcakes were a bit dry and it took much more chocolate to get the ganache to a setting consistency. The results were unimpressive. However, I'm sure my grandson and granddaughter will soon polish them off. I shan't make that recipe again. Graham |
