General Guidelines for Fermenting Bread Dough in the Proofer Prepare the Proofer. For bread dough, the proofer should always have the water tray filled one-third to one-half full with clean water, and the tray should be placed in the center of the warming plate. The wire rack goes on top of the water tray.
Rustic Pizza Crust This easy recipe is our favorite pizza crust. The soft dough is a pleasure to work with and forms a nicely raised border with a crisp crust and open crumb. The dough can be mixed anytime the day before, or on the morning of making the pizzas.
Page 12
Retard the Dough. Place the dough in the oiled bowl and turn it over so that it is lightly coated with oil. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours, or up to 30 hours. Choose a Timetable. From the chart below, choose a fermentation temperature and its corresponding time to remove the dough from the refrigerator.

isn’t necessary for creating a non-stick surface, we use a little semolina with parchment because it creates a crisp and delicious crust. If shaping on a peel, use a more generous layer of semolina so the pizza won’t stick. We find shaping on parchment is easier than a peel, because the dough will stick to the parchment and not spring back when stretched, yet once the pizza is baked for a minute or so, the non-stick properties of the parchment kick in and the pizza slides off the paper effortlessly.
Golden Three-Wheat Boule This bread has a beautiful golden crumb, a sweet, complex aroma and a rustic crust. Bread flour from hard red winter wheat forms the backbone of the bread, while durum wheat and whole grain “white” wheat contribute wonderful flavor.

Put the flours and yeast in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Measure or weigh the ice water, add to the bowl and whisk vigorously until very smooth and lump free, about one minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and ferment in the proofer for 12 hours at 24C. When the poolish is ripe, it will have doubled in size and the surface will be covered with bubbles (you may see some pop) and a few wrinkles or dents.

20, 40 and 60 minutes. To stretch and fold, gently stretch one side of the dough with oiled fingers, then fold it towards the center and repeat on the opposite side, creating a business letter fold. Repeat with the other two sides, forming a square package in which all four sides have been stretched and folded to the center.

volume. The dough is somewhat heavy due to the addition of cranberries and nuts so it does take a little while to rise fully. Shape and Proof the Boule. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and shape the dough into a tight round ball. Place the dough ball seam side up into a well floured dough rising basket or a bowl/colander lined with a heavily floured linen cloth.

Greylock Sourdough This rustic bread gets complex flavor and a mild, delicious tang from a little dark rye in the sourdough starter. It has enough whole wheat and rye to give it a robust, earthy flavor, yet still retains a moist and open crumb with a bit of chew.

Mix and Autolyse the Main Dough. Warm the water to about 29 - 32C (cooler if room temp is over 23C). Measure or weigh the flours into a bowl, add the lukewarm water, and mix until all the flour is moistened. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.

Slash and Bake with Steam at 232C. Gently invert the loaf onto parchment or a floured peel. Brush excess flour from the top and sides of the loaf. Using a baker’s lame or serrated knife, slash in two long, slightly angled lines.
Making Yogurt: Custard-Style, Greek or Classic This recipe details all the steps for making thick, creamy “custard-style” yogurt, plus straining instructions for Greek yogurt. There’s a variation at the end for classic yogurt that has a fresh taste and thinner texture. Custard-Style Yogurt This method highlights two techniques for creating thick yogurt: holding milk at 90C for ten minutes before culturing, and allowing the yogurt to...

Step Two: Cool Milk to 46 - 43C. In order to heat the jars and speed cooling by dividing the milk into smaller containers (both increase food safety), pour the hot milk into the jars and allow to cool (bubbles left on the surface from whisking will prevent a skin from forming).
Page 26
Greek Yogurt Strain the yogurt. Line a colander or strainer with several layers of cheesecloth or one layer of paper coffee filters. Set the colander/strainer over a bowl and spoon in the chilled yogurt. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to strain for 1-3 hours, or until desired thickness is reached. For our frozen yogurt recipe, below, we strained the yogurt overnight.

Protein is Key to Thickening. The casein (protein) clusters in milk thicken yogurt by unraveling and forming a three-dimensional mesh when exposed to the lactic acid created by culturing. Heating milk above 78C before culturing denatures one of the main whey proteins, lactoglobulin, which allows it to join in the mesh (instead of remaining inactive) and effectively increases the amount of protein in the milk that will be available to thicken the yogurt.
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Making Creamy Frozen Yogurt. To keep the texture of our frozen dessert creamy, we limit the water content so that large ice crystals are less likely to form. Both milk and strawberries have plenty of water, so we strain the yogurt and reduce the juices that drain from the berries.

freezing). Chill the pre-mix thoroughly, then freeze according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. When frozen, transfer to the pre-frozen containers and allow to freeze until a little firmer, about 30 minutes. If desired, serve with chunks of fresh strawberry and top with a whole strawberry. Once the yogurt freezes for several hours it may be too firm to scoop- short bursts in the microwave (5-10 seconds) can soften it for serving.
Tempering Chocolate Tempering allows the right crystal structure to form from the cocoa butter in chocolate, making the texture smooth, shiny and crisp. Step One: Melt the Chocolate. Set up the proofer with wire rack in place and the thermostat at 46C. The water tray may be placed underneath the rack, but make sure it is completely dry.
