Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jennifer Lapidus - Southern Ground: Reclaiming Flavor Through Stone-Milled Flour
Q: How has the Southern Ground book influenced the baking community and your broader ecosystem work?
It provided a tangible blueprint for rebuilding local grain systems, showcasing collaborations between bakers, mills, and farmers, and empowering bakers to understand and celebrate terroir through regional grains and dedicated community events like Bread Festivals.
Jennifer Lapidus - Southern Ground: Reclaiming Flavor Through Stone-Milled Flour
Q: Can you describe the Dazem starter and how it differs from a traditional levain starter?
The Dazem starter is ground in a way that emphasizes the flour's character, often created inside a bag of flour with a cooler, tighter environment to encourage a unique, apple-cidery aroma and slower, nuanced fermentation, while still yielding a robust leaven.
Jennifer Lapidus - Southern Ground: Reclaiming Flavor Through Stone-Milled Flour
Q: Imagine you're in a kitchen with a home baker who just bought fresh stone-milled flour—what is your top tip for that first bake?
Be mindful of fermentation and hydration; stone-ground flour can be more active, so raise hydration and adjust fermentation timing to accommodate the flour's alive character, tasting as you go to fine-tune your approach.
Miro van Vreckem - The Sourdough Baking Book: From Sourdough Starter to Stunning Breads and Pastries
Q: How do you troubleshoot a flat loaf and get to a better bake next time?
Start by adjusting water with experimentation, then introduce oats to add water absorption and flavor, and keep hydration reasonable to maintain structure when you're not chasing extreme hydration levels.
Henry Hunter - Sourdough for the Rest of Us
Q: What's your top tip for troubleshooting a loaf that's gone awry?
Start by understanding what went wrong with shaping, proofing, or oven steam, discuss with the baker to pinpoint the issue, and then apply targeted adjustments rather than overhauling the entire process.
