💡 Baker's Q&A & Troubleshooting (5)
Distilled from Author's NotesQ:What can I use to replace the thick yogurt?
A:You can use milk, but reduce the amount instead of swapping 1:1. Milk is about 87% water while yogurt varies in thickness. Try replacing the 60g of yogurt with about 40g of milk, holding back about 10g to add slowly as needed.
Q:What baking temperature and time did you use?
A:190°C for 35 minutes. Adjust according to how your own oven runs, using a similar time to your usual lidded Pullman loaves. When I use my smaller countertop oven, I bake at 180°C for 30 minutes. Ovens vary a lot.
Q:Can I leave out the yogurt if I don't have any?
A:Yes, replace it with about 45g of milk and adjust up or down as needed.
Q:Why is this sponge only chilled for 1 hour? Does it still work well?
A:It acts a bit like a cold autolyse, which makes it much faster. The finished loaf still turns out great, very soft inside with a nice shred. You can also chill it overnight, so it is quite flexible.
Q:Is matcha powder just ground tea leaves? I honestly can't tell the difference.
A:Yes and no. Matcha is made from green tea leaves, but the processing method is specific and there are many grades. The best one I have baked with cost about $30 for a 1 oz tin on Amazon. It was super fragrant, though pricey since one tin only made 6 loaves. This time I used a big $20 bag from Costco, which is noticeably less vibrant.
