"I forgot to make bread for dinner" Bread

cakecuplady

I am a true beliver in multiple long rises, but this sure is a lifesaver when you don't have the time or simply forgot to plan ahead.  It was great warm with orange butter and some strawberry rhubarb jam---but then nothing's bad with butter on it, right?

This is a great starter bread for new bakers, but it certainly is devoid of the complexity and depth of the bread I usually make with long rises.  Still, I felt it was interesting enough to share.  Enjoy!

The Dough

Ingredient Metric Imperial Baker's Percentage
Flour 99 grams 3.50 cups 100.00%
Water 43 grams 1.50 cups 42.86%
Honey 2 tablespoons 42.86%
Salt 1 tablespoons 14.29%
Yeast 2 tablespoons 42.86%
Total Flour Weight:
3.5 cups

Percentages are relative to flour weight (flour equals 100%) and every other ingredient is a percentage of this. Flour from the starter is not counted. This recipe was originally in cups and has been automatically converted to other measures.

I want to try one more time to see if I can do this sourdough bread.  Thank you for sharing without the wonderful people who share I don't think I would succeed!

None of the converstions imperial to grams make any sense. Not even close.

14% bakers percentage for SALT??? You trying to melt ice or make bread.

99grams of flour for 3.5 cups of flour when, depending on flour type 120-`130 grams per cup is normal.

 

2 tbls honey = 42% bakers percentage???????????????
