A modified glop recipe
jason molinari
My one complaint was that it was just TOO airy. My fiance' called it
airbread, it had very little substance, forcing me to eat about 1/3 of
a batch for a sandwich at lunch.
So i slowly started modifying it, removing water to make it a touch
more dense. I've come to 2 great variations which i'll share.Another
advantage, is that in the beating phase it takes far less time to form
a ball. About 10 minutes instead of 30. The gluten is still well
developed. Both these breads have fantastic crumb structure, like a
perfect ciabatta. You can see a pic of variation 1 :

variatio 1:
500g bread blour
475g water
2 tsp. yeast
15g salt.
follow John's directions
variation 2 has become my standard. Semolina flour adds a nice
yellowish color and a lot of flavor.
350g bread flour
150g semolina flour
475-485g water
2tsp. yeast
15g salt
follow directions as for above.
Enjoy. And thanks john for the initial amazing recipe! this is my
weekly bread.

Jason, that's a beautiful ciabatta!
Now, John has posted a number of breads over the past year. Which, in
particular, did you start from, so I can make sure I have the directions?

The picture is stunning!
Definitely wanting to clarify:
The picture is definitely your recipe: Variation 1?
Is Variation 2 your recipe as well?
Can you provide a link to John's recipe from which you are doing the
variations?
Thanks so much.

picture is my version 1, before i tried adding semolina flour. Version
2 of mine looks similar but has a yellow tinge from the semolina.
Both variation 1 and 2 are my recipe..but both based on John's. My next
step is to try the same recipe but make a poolish out of some of
flour/water. I know that will take away the convenience of John's glop,
but it may give it a better falvor. We'll see!
For a pictorial progression see my post in this italian forum :
http://www.gennarino.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2493&start=15
This is the one i based it off of:
John's Quick Cocodrillo Substitute<g>
Direct method, lean rustic dough, commercial yeast. Days to make, 1.
Yield 4 small-medium loaves.
500 gm 12%+ protein white flour.
550 gm warm (30C) water
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
10 gm salt
Mix til roughly combined, with the paddle, and rest for 10 min or so.
Still
with the paddle, beat seven bells out of the glop on medium-high (3 on
a
Kenwood) until the dough is slapping around the bowl and clearing the
bottom
completely. This will take about 25 - 30 min and nothing much will
happen for
at least 15-20.
Tip the dough (glop) into an oiled bowl or similar, I use a
cylindrical,
transparent, polyethylene food container with a tight sealing lid which
makes
it very easy to see the progress of the rise, and leave, tightly
covered, to
triple. It MUST triple or this recipe will not work!.
Pour onto a well floured surface, shake more flour over, divide into 4
rough
squares and plump,them up by sliding an angled bench knife under the
dough.
Shake flour, generously over the loaves and their surroundings and
leave until
extremely puffy and wobbly. about 45 minutes - just about right for
heating the
oven to flat out max. Take no prisoners.
Using a floured bench knife free each loaf from the counter and,
gently, flip
it over, pick it up,using floured hands and, gently, stretch it to
about 10"
long and onto a peel, Superpeel (thank you Gary) or parchment. The
dough very
nearly stretches under it's own weight. You must move quickly. It will
look as
if you've totally and permanently deflated the bread. Trust Uncle John,
he may
be a little wierd on occasions and is prone to "running off at the
keyboard"
but he's actually done this stretch 'n' bake loads of times and it
always
works. Straight into the raging oven, down to 220 after 10 min, bake
to
internal temp at least 96C and you can go as high as 98C if the crust
doesn't
brown too quickly. You will not believe the oven spring. I baked the
bread in 2
batches. The bread will pass the "thump the botttom" test long before
the bread
is cooked - You Have Been Warned!
jason molinari
weekend, using version 2 of my break and added 100g of chopped kalamata
olives at the very very end, and mixed/kneaded with the paddle only for
a few more mins. Turned out very well indeed, but it needs some work
with water ratio to perfect it.

this is the part that has always kept me from trying this recipe. i
have your average kitchen aid stand mixer and i just don't know that
the motor would survive this.i do mix the hammelman pizza dough at
speed 4 -- but only for 3 mins. with the dough hook.
has anyone tried this on kitchen aid and lived to tell about it?

I've made several breads at speed 2 on the KA for fairly long times and
nothing happened to the mixer. The critical difference is that this recipe
is a small batch of very loose dough, so all you are doing, really, is
running the machine. If this were a very tight dough, say a bagel dough, and
you were making a double or triple batch, then you would get the dough hook
stalled from time to time, and that's what usually strips the gear in the
head.
The two most frequent contributors to KA failure are large batchs of stiff
dough that stall the mixer and lack of maintenance, i.e., lubrication.
I don't see anything in this recipe that would burn out a KA or a Kenwood,
although I don't know much about Kenwoods, or Kenwouldn'ts, for that
matter.

> Hey all. Yes. Those are my ciabatte..
And they, with dear John's original posting have inspired me (finally!)
to try it tonight. Now, I bake with Spelt (Farro), and it is normally,
well, gloppier than wheat, and has a quicker to form, more delicate
gluten. I watched (and listened to) the KA carefully, and after about 10
minutes, it was working harder slowing noticeably. In less than 12
minutes, the glop had cleared the bowl, and climbed the spindle, despite
my efforts to beat it back! I cleared the paddle, let it sit for a
minute, and gave it a short burst more, where it immediately cleaned the
bowl and hugged the paddle. It's now rising, passing the 1.5x mark. I'll
post pics tomorrow!

that you may have to turn off the mixer once or twice to keep it from
overheating.

The KA ran nice and cool, never complained, just that it slowed a
trifle, as the gluten built.
Well, this is indeed a winner!
The rise never quite reached the triple point, but started to fall back
around 2.5+ times. Time to pour it out and proceed! This is beyond glop,
this is siliputty!! Almost transparent, incredibly sticky, and
definitely not handleable, but light, airy, and very much alive.
I finally managed to split the glob into four roughly equal parts, and
roll them onto parchment covered trays. Let them rise again for about 40
minutes, then into the raging inferno, heated to 550F for 45 minutes.
After 10 minutes (with a few squirts of water on the oven floor in the
first 5 minutes), they had sprung nicely, were starting to brown, and
smelled wonderful! Dropped the temp to 420F, swapped the trays, and let
them go another 10 minutes, then out to the cooling rack.
One loaf - the one I cut to photograph the crumb - is quite gone. The
other three will be sandwiches tomorrow, for sure!
As promised, I put photos up at Photobucket:

Good result, Dave,
Excellent structure, lovely open bread, much more open than normal
spelt bread.
Is this white spelt flour you're using?
I only have wholegrain spelt which may be healthier but doesn't give me
the volume I want.

Dave Bell
Thank you, John - for the kind words and mostly, for the recipe!
Yes, this is unbleached white spelt. I agree that whole spelt would be
healthier, but can't eat it; it affects me almost like eating white
wheat. It's all a matter of degrees and dosage. Even too much spelt
starts to get to me, so I have to go easy.
This process, and the high hydration, certainly led to the open
structure. Most spelt breads (particulary comemrcial ones) look like
wonder bread, but are dense and heavy. This is light, chewy, just great!

Thank you, Graham!
Actually, this is slightly under 100%, from Jason Molinari's version 1.
John did orignally call for higher,
500 gm 12%+ protein white flour.
550 gm warm (30C) water
Jason's recipe is,
500g bread blour
475g water
2 tsp. yeast
15g salt
I used warm water, at Jason's ratio...

loaves, they're a bit small. I'd prefer a taller slice. If I were to
half instead of 1/4 the dough would the structure hold up?
Also, I once made a ciabatta type that used some sour milk. The taste
was awesome. Any idea how this might be incorporated?
Thanks,

oh yeah. I should add that using Jasons recipe, I could get the dough
to come together, even after 35 mins in my Bosch at 4. I ended up
adding about 40g rye flour.

Why do you ask? Sugar is not a necessary ingredient in bread. Don't get
me wrong; it is a key ingredient in some types of bread. And perhaps the
sorts of bread you enjoy all contain sugar. That's fine. But the bread
under discussion does not contain sugar.
KingOfGlop
The poster is probably worried that this type of bread contains none of
the 4 essential food groups fat, sugar, alcohol and chocolate.

But isn't it perfect for cleansing the palate BETWEEN courses of the 4
essential food groups?

I made the recipe the other nite. It worked rather well crust, crumb &
texture were very nice. Flavor was good too.
I was wondering if this bread should get the 3x folding that your
earlier ciabatta recipe got?
Do have a variation that would include milk, or are we back to ciabatta
at that point?
Thanks,
Fritz
KingOfGlop
Earthling,
Your mode of speeech sometimes confuses me. Which recipe? Several have
been mentioned in this thread so far.
I often include milk in Ciabatta either in the form of a milk based
poolish (same as another poolish but with milk instead of water) or
milk powder at about 4-5% of total flour weight, added in the main
dough mix.

I've never been called Earthling before. Thanks!
Sorry the recipe I referred too was this:
500 gm 12%+ protein white flour.
550 gm warm (30C) water
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
10 gm salt
Thanks,
Fritz
KingOfGlop
The dough produced by this recipe's intensive mixing does not need
stretch and fold.
Furthermore, if you did give the dough 3 s+f, you would need a lot of
flour to handle the glop and the result would be closer to a Ciabatta
than a Coccodrillo, which is fine, as far as it goes but what would you
gain?
The next time I make a batch of quick Coccodrillo I'll add 5% milk
powder and see what efffect it produces or, if you get there first, let
us know. It should produce a softer crust and longer keeping bread
although the recipe is and was always intended as a quick bread, to be
mixed, baked and eaten as fast as possible<g>

Yeast does need sugar to rise but it doesn't need the baker to add
sugar - the yeast can get enough sugar by breaking down longer chain
polysaccharides with enzymes it secretes and flour too has
starch-splitting enzymes.

Here are my thoughts:
Mixing
---
Dough came together very quickly, it was climbing the paddle almost
immediatly. I could let it go on 3 or 4 on my Kitchen Aid for about 2
minutes, then I'd have to push it down to stop it from gumming up the
works. I decided it was done after about 15-20 minutes of wrestling and
when It was coating the paddle as in Jason's photo on the forum
(thanks).
The dough was very warm from the constant paddling it took.
Primary Ferment
----
Rise took about 3.5 hours. I think i might have let it go a bit too
long but that's how long it took to triple. I put it in a well oiled 2
Quart juice container that we have in the US and covered with plastic
wrap. It's tall and narrow and has marks on the side for easy watching
of the rise.
Shaping
---
Well I floured the counter. Plopped it out. Cut it in fours and left
for 45 minutes while the oven heated to 500 F. After 45 minutes, I
stretched to about 10 inches and put on the parchment.
Baking
---
Baked on my pizza stone with the parchment which I slid directly on off
my improvised peel (baking sheet). Did 2 1 cup steam treatments at the
start and 30 seconds later. After 10 minutes I turned the heat down to
450 F and rotated the loaves. I let it bake about another 10 minutes or
so at which time the center of the loaf was at about 210 F and the
color was a nice red. The other 2 loaves went in after these. I noticed
no difference in spring.
Eating
--
I converted Jason's 15 g of salt to ml then to teaspoons which gave me
3 teaspoons of salt -- way too high i thought but I did it anyway - big
mistake. The salt is not overwhelming and would probably be pleasent
with some olive oil. But don't try to make french toast with it. I
think 2 teaspoons of salt would have been better or maybe only 1.5, I
think i just converted wrong.
Crumb
--
Nice translucent webbing, just what I was going for. Big holes finally
-- take that Reinhart! (I only got small holes with his ciabatta
formula).
My only problem is I had a severe case of flying crust going which I
don't know is just something you have to live with, with this airy
bread or maybe I let these things proof a bit too long.
Thoughts on the flying crust?
I ate two loaves right away and froze the other 2 after wrapping and
bagging. Overall a great experience, easy and fun to play with dough. I
can post photos if anyone is interested.

Your conversion would have been correct *if* salt had the same density as
water! Sadly, this is one of those times a scale is just so much better.
On the other hand, this is not the sort of bread I'd make French Toast out
of, anyway...
Dave
drgon...@gmail.com
to inform me of that point :)
As for the french toast, i just had a vision of using this airy style
bread as an ultra french toat-waffle hybrid! The holes would be perfect
for holding syrup!
jason molinari
bad idea as the volume will change drastically between kosher salt, and
regular salt. Either way, as long as you use your own measurement, and
keep it consistant, it won't matter (always 2 tsp, or always 1.5 tsp.
or whatever).
by flying crust do you mean where the crust has come off the crumb? If
so, lower the hydration a touch next time, i noticed this a lot on
John's bread which was even higher hydration than mine. Play with the
formula a bit until you get what you like. the lower hydration,
generally the smaller the holes and the denser the bread.
jason
drgon...@gmail.com
the crust has seperated from the crumb at the top. This makes it kind
of hard to make a sandwich out of it :)
I think it's just a very fine line with this style of bread, because
the only thing that seperates a flying crust from a regular crust is a
few delicate strands of dough.
Overall I am very happy, I am starting to join the gospel of glop. The
next thing on the list -- glop brioche from the king's recipe!
Dave Bell
I think you'll be pleased with it! My first try came out a tiny bit dry,
but they were small loaves. Next time, I'm packing the pans more full.
This is practically a Panatone, if that's the direction you're looking
for...

flour the tops, turn the loaves over, using a floured bench knife, pick
them up and transfer them to the SuperPeel as they stretch under their
own weight. A little tricky but it gives excellent results.
