Some of my thoughts on competition as both a microbaker & just a human being lol especially since I’ve began creating content. Curious if others are driven by competition or how they navigate it!

mixing routine for my classic country sourdough
74% hydration
30% local whole grains

I purposely specify this because there’s a lot of nuance with these routines and different grains and hydration levels. The best thing you can do is keep an eye on your dough and see how it behaves. This is also the reason that I don’t put exact times for mixing. The timing changes for me season to season & sometimes mix to mix. I don’t claim to be a teacher, but if watching this routine helps someone that is wonderful! I love my Sunmix USA mixers from PizzaGoods.

My Forno | Micro Bakery Deck Ovens PizzaGoods

a little bake day vlog & some thoughts on comparison

yesterday’s loaves shaped in my FLOURSIDE baskets and baked in the My Forno | Micro Bakery Deck Ovens
wood pulp will always be my favorite 😊

FlowerDough5 can be used on flourside’s site - they’ve got some awesome tools for bakers 🙏

just chatting about the integrated steam in the My Forno | Micro Bakery Deck Ovens oven - this is a great feature with this oven and a huge part of why I chose it! this oven does a great job retaining both heat and steam

I’ve been working with PizzaGoods and have a referral code to get an extra 10% off of the myforno! I waited a bit to share my code until I got to know the oven more and I can confirm I’m in love!🫡

back at it slingin’ dough for my peeps 🐥
dough day numero uno of the week = classic loaves for a 36 hour cold proof

Here’s how I print my labels each week using !
I’m embarrassed to admit that I was about six months (and a bunch of mistakes) in before I realized I could do this! So if there’s a chance that this is helping another baker save some time I’m glad!🫡

One of the biggest reasons I chose the MyForno as my second oven was the ability to fire up just a single deck when I’m baking a smaller batch of bread. Instead of heating the entire oven, I can run one stone and save both time and energy. These loaves turned out beautifully, I’m pretty pumped about it!

I’ve also been working with after using Sunmix mixers for years. Right now they’re running a bundle deal on the mixer I use and this oven, and I have a code that stacks on top of the sale for an additional 10% off. Flowerdough10 at checkout!

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your bakery setup, it’s a pretty great opportunity to save on equipment I actually use and love. (Less than I paid 🤣😭🫡)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the mixers, the oven, or my experience with either one!
