Focaccia , SD Cinnamon Roll style

[DRKsmoking]

Focaccia , SD Cinnamon Roll style , I used a recipe from " Amy bakes bread ". I have used a couple of hers .

I am still playing with SD and trying to get the hang of it. Not bad so far, but Hard to sway away from reg bread making sometimes. I did this one exactly from her recipe. Bit I think it is my fault that this one is still a bit too moist. I used AP flour and not bread flour like she asked.

As it did not seem to absorb the pan oil and butter very well, or she gave too much in the recipe.

But it turned out OK and I will keep playing with it . Just not as dry as I thought it should be.
And it was hard to explain to the others in the house that this is not my normal Cinnamon rolls from sweet bread.

Made the dough with 100 grams of active starter and all the rest of items. Did all the resting and folding asked for.
Bulk fermentation, rises etc.

So picture time.

After about a full 24 hours of work ready for the final part, add the flavour,

Cinnamon and sugar, and couple folds

Let that , sit and rise for a few more hours. A nice bubbly and jiggly blob.
Spread this a bit, try to dimple and top with melted butter.

Bake , " It " of 200 deg. Let cool for 10 minutes or so in the pan ( and about the pan she said a 9" x 13" or a 12" round. I had a 10" x 10" ) so I think it was too small, for this amount of dough.

Removed from pan to help dry up a bit, bottom looks good.

Once cooled a bit back in the pan so I can add the Cream Cheese topping , while still warm.

It is good and tasty but I think too moist from all the oil and butter in the baking dish for the final baking. I will have to check a few other focaccia recipes.

I am still having a hard time trying to explain to the family , this is not supposed to be Cinnamon rolls.

Tastes good just not what I was expecting.

Thanks for looking

Looks pretty good . Makes me think of coffee cake . Nice work .

take it out of the pan , and back in the oven for 10 minutes or so . Dries the outside .

I will have to check a few other focaccia recipes.

King Arthur . They have 2 . One is a 100% hydration the other is Recipe of the year , Forever Focaccia . Both good .

Thanks Rich for the comment.

This is good thank you. out of the pan and in for another 10 minutes would help with the too moist problem.

And I was reading and I should have used a different flour like you mention. Will pick some up this week.
Plus pan was a little under sized.

Thanks Rich for your help on this , I will try again later in the week.

As I am having a meeting for the next day or 2 on my trusses for the camp, buddy drew them up wrong for my summer build at the cottage.
Told him building 31' x 31' and he built one end different that the other for some reason , and on the phone he says that is how it should be. So he confused the hell out of me . So now I have to go and have a sit down . I know i'm getting older ... BUT i can't always be wrong lol

Told him building 31' x 31' and he built one end different that the other for some reason ,

One end of the structure , or one side of the truss ?
Could be a few things . Windshear , support walls maybe ?

Those King Arthur recipes use AP flour . Just get a good flour . Unbleached , higher protein .

1 end of the truss on his drawings , I am going to be building soon I hope.

I found a set of Blue Prints to buy that were just for reference, but were about 90% of what we are going to do.

I just have to manipulate the measurements to our build. That is why I wanted to have the right engineered Trusses for safety, as I normally just build my own rafters, But at 31" for building and overhang, thought I would go with trusses.

# 1 picture is the build with a front porch and I will build beam for trusses to land on

#2 picture is what the truss factory sent me back after i gave him all my measurements, he said the front porch area is on the right of his drawings and that you can see how the truss cantilevers out over that and he said that way I do not need the beam. And that is when he started to lose me.

So the other end is to reast on the back of mt house wall. Asked him why he built it up, and he said that is the right way to do it .

This is why I have to sit face to face with him. I have done lots of glue lam beams and things with him , this is the first truss job


So deck would be on the right of this drawing end of house on the left. ????

I see it now . Your footprint is only 24' 0" . Truss span including the covered porch is 30 plus .
The direction of the / angle of the bracing on the left side of the truss , act as leverage to hold up the right side of the truss , eliminating the need for a beam .
Yes to the question above . Deck on the right .
Damn power went out . Hard to type on the phone .

 

[DRKsmoking]

Damn power went out

Hate that about power,

Yes the building is 24' and the porch is 6' +/-. But it is the build up on the left of the truss picture that confuses me.
The truss picture is backwards to the plan picture Truss picture has the porch or front of building on the right. And the webbing truss work makes sense.
It is the build up on the left of the truss picture which is the back of the building that sits on a wall. Unless that is just an optical illusion, and it is the same plane as the other end of the truss. And why the bottom cord does not come out and meet the top cord

They only want $5980. for trusses delivered and boomed up and resting on my wall plates in a pile.
Much cheaper then me building rafters and installing , plus ceiling joists etc.

If my math is right , the run is 3 1/2" shorter on the non deck side . He's raising the top chord to keep the 5 / 12 pitch on both halves of the truss .

That's my guess from Missouri . Lol .

 

[chopsaw]

And why the bottom cord does not come out and meet the top cord

Because that's where the bearing point hit ? Not sure why he didn't run the bottom chord out to meet the top , and just bury the jack ?

Yes just did not understand, so my soffit work and fascia are the same all way round the building.

Thanks Rich for your input.

Will meet with him soon I hope . I have to get to the property soon as the frost is gone and finish my underground slab supports, that will be fun

That worked thank you.

Now can slice and hold better, instead of like pastry.

It was not too bad at all for the first try on the Focaccia.

Will do it again , with some different profiles.
