asfjiosdfh, sjdhjsdhg, osdhgfshdg!
currently engaging in several not so desirable activities such as leg-shaking, finger-tapping, etc. you know why? right now waiting for the autolyse to be done.. baking whole wheat loaves today, tried them before but not this recipe and im like omgggg.. bread is like so bready lah. you have all these little factors that you dont even know if youre doing them right.. and then theres the waiting.. and the waiting.. and... you guessed it. even more waiting.. so right now im in the first waiting part, the autolyse. heres where you allow the gluten to develop without actually needing to do anything. no kneading, no electricity spent on mixers and stuff.. you just wait. usually 20-30 mins technically fine.. but then this is a whole wheat bread! *vigorous nail-biting ensues* whole wheat flour more temperamental one you know? they soak up the water like crazy and then make you feel like adding more liquid at this early stage. badbad, very bad. so. anyways. longer autolyse for whole grain flours. really thirsty people, them. currently left about a quarter an hour for the autolyse. but then again, the longer the more gluten development. rarh. thats what its like with breadmaking. it can be done this way, but to make it taste even better you can do this, can do that, then after reading all that im like.. err, huh? so how now brown cow? :/ okay anyways, autolyse minimum time up, ill go and do the next stuffs.. ill probably be back here engaging in distracting activities during the first and second rise heh.
