100% hydration Sourdough Crystal Bread.

After the low hydration bread (64%) that I published in the last video here on my channel (   • Open Crumb from STIFF DOUGH. 64% Hydr...  ) I wanted to do an experiment with the same flour using a high hydration 100%.

Many people say that it is very difficult to make this very high hydration bread. Through this video I tried to show that the method is quite simple. Others refuse to make such bread on the grounds that butter or jam does not sit on it. But this is a totally special bread that is not commonly eaten with butter. But taste is amazing.

I mixed 325g of water with 325g of Manitoba Casillo (13% protein) and let them to autolyse for an hour. Then I kneaded by hand (Rubaud method) with 65g starter. After 30 minutes of rest I kneaded again by hand with 7.5g salt.
I did 5 coil folds (30 minutes between) after which I had to leave home. The total bulk at room temperature 22-23 deg. C (calculated from the moment I put the starter in) was 8 hours and 30 minutes. When I returned in the evening, I put the pyrex dish in the fridge at 4 degrees Celsius until the next morning (12h) when I divided it into two parts and let it to rest on two baking sheets for an hour until the oven was heated. I baked them on the baking steel at 250 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes with steam and then 20 minutes at 210 degrees Celsius without steam. It is absolutely fascinating to see how the same flour behaves in extreme hydration conditions: low and high. Both full of amazing flavors.
