Baking Tips

Use a Large Bowl

With 750g of flour, your dough will grow significantly during bulk fermentation. Use a bowl that can hold at least 3 liters to give it room to expand.

Longer Mix Time

Larger batches and lower hydration require more mixing to fully hydrate the flour. Be patient - the dough will come together smoothly with enough kneading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many loaves can I make with 750g of flour at 65%?

You'll get approximately 1.2kg of dough, which is perfect for two 600g loaves (standard sandwich size) or one large 1kg+ pan loaf. You can also divide it into 8-10 dinner rolls if you prefer.

Can I use a stand mixer for this larger batch?

Yes, and at this batch size a stand mixer is quite helpful. The low hydration dough can be tough to mix by hand. Use the dough hook on medium-low speed for 8-10 minutes after combining ingredients.

How should I divide and shape 750g dough for two loaves?

After bulk fermentation, weigh your dough and divide it in half. Let each piece rest for 20-30 minutes, then shape. For sandwich loaves, do a batard shape and place in greased loaf pans, seam-side down.
