Lievito di birra o lievito madre? 🤔 La scelta cambia tutto! Il primo è un velocista affidabile, il secondo un maratoneta di sapore. #Lievito #SaccharomycesCerevisiae #PastaMadre #Microbiologia #Panificare #Imparare #DivulgazioneScientifica #PizzaNapoletana artebloggreen.blogspot.com/2025/07/magi...

Schiacciata alla fiorentina, dusted with icing sugar with a cocoa powder decoration of giglio fiorentino (Florentine lily or iris).

Slightly later (usually it is done before Lent) and a bit smaller than usual, @mjwmuspix.bsky.social and I made schiacciata alla fiorentina, a sweet, enriched bread.

Il fine settimana scorso @cosimomatteini.bsky ed io abbiamo fatto due panettoni a 750g, usando la nostra pasta madre. Non sono venuti alla perfezione (abbiamo avuto problemi col forno a gas), però hanno un ottimo sapore!

A panettone after it has cooled overnight. The top is golden brown, with the cross where it was scored. There are skewers at the base of it which will be removed. These were used to hang the panettone upside down whilst cooling.

A panettone cut in half vertically. The crumb is yellowish due to the egg yolks and butter used, and there are numerous sultanas and large pieces of candied peel visible.

Checking the gluten mesh of the dough. Someone (me) is holding the dough, stretching it apart with my hands above the mixing bowl. The dough is stretched out, in a couple of places it is thin enough for it to become translucent.

A bespectacled man with a longish beard (me), wearing a white t-shirt, standing next to a kitchen worktop. In front of me are two panettoni which have just finished being proved. I have scored a cross in the top of one of them with a lame (a razor blade held in a handle), and I am in the process of scoring the top of the other panettone.

Last weekend @cosimomatteini.bsky.social and I made two 750g panettoni, using our pasta madre. They’ve not turned out perfectly (we had issues with the gas oven), but they do taste good!

Some of the ingredients for the stollen.

Today, @mjwmuspix.bsky.social and I made a stollen using pasta madre (stiff sourdough). It is now maturing and should be ready in two weeks. This was our first time to make this.

Ingredients: pasta madre, strong white flour, and water.

Pasta madre rolled out into a long strip, having been kneaded until smooth.

Pasta madre rolled up, ready for being proved.

Pasta madre in a bowl five hours later. It’s increased in size, with air pockets visible through the side of the bowl.

Refreshing the pasta madre (stiff sourdough) @cosimomatteini.bsky.social and I will be using to make panettone. I started it a few days ago, using some of my sourdough starter.
