So far I'm mostly making dutch oven breads. Nothing complicated, just stretch and folds and shit like that. Have tried a few french breads with poolish and steam that worked out pretty well. As I get better at baking, what are some other breads I should try making? Are ciabattas as difficult as they say? I do have a stand mixer btw, if that matters.
>>22115032Ciabatta isn't that complicated. It's high hydration and sticky, but not impossible to work with.
>>22115032Post your recipe schematics.
>>22115032high hydration 100% whole wheat breads are best if you can get them to work properly. i only did them with slow rising no knead recipes, i'm not sure if you can do a faster recipe with a stand mixer but i've heard whole wheat works better without kneading because the bran cuts up the gluten.
Challah for the best French toast you'll ever have

Mastering sourdough and having a 20 year old starter you care more about than your wife is the endgame of baking
>>22115032Start your own sourdough starter as soon as possible. Only takes about 2 weeks and it'll last for a lifetime of bread.
>>22115032>nothing complicated>just stretch and fold, poolish, steam, have a stand mixer and a dutch oven, btw making ciabatta fuck you, pretentious prick.
>>22115258Haven't made ciabatta yet and aren't stretch and fold Dutch oven breads retard proof?
>>22115259>aren't stretch and fold Dutch oven breads retard proof?idk, did you put the loaves in the fridge after shaping but before baking them? *ba dum tss*Ignore the retard, to 90% of this board anything beyond taco bell and frozen tendies is pretentious.Ciabatta is harder than what you've been making but it's not crazy difficult, and even if you fuck it up you end up with edible and still pretty tasty bread.
>>22115260>You're a retard for calling me outUh huh
