Before cutting:

Slices:

My second attempt at 80% hydrated bread and this time I used some flour additives or baking aids or whatever you call them, to get to a higher protein percentage. Specifically (links are to the Danish site where I bought the stuff):

That's a total dry mass of 465g, of which 76g is protein, so roughly 16% protein. With 80% hydration, that's then 372g of water. And then I added 15g of fresh yeast or something like that (not sure if fresh yeast should be counted as dry or wet ๐Ÿค”).

I think the bubbles are bigger this time than in my last attempt, so I guess the additives made a difference! :D

I still want to try using the additives for pizza dough, but that will wait a few weeks.

80%!!! What did the dough look like?

It was very wet ๐Ÿ˜…. I just folded it a few times, it was totally impossible to knead. Even folding with my dough scraper it was sticking like crazy. But I just poured it all into a bread tin at the end and let it rise until it was puffed up to double size.
