This is just an example of shaping an oval loaf. There are many techniques out there, find the one that works best for you, and also for your dough Should the dough have enough tension/strength, a lighter shaping, less movements are required. If the dough is still quite slack, you might want to tighten it more I always use this shallow bowl for the bulk fermentation (sometimes I would mix in it, sometimes mix in my stand mixer, and then transfer it here after the first fold) Always using the sam

This is an older video showing the shaping method I use for an oval shaped loaf I have to say that I am more relaxed now when it comes to tightening the dough, and the stitching is something I often skip A dough that’s too tight can result in a denser crumb, and this is what I’ve learned by doing it Also, the other observation would be to avoid using too much flour, as that will make the stitching impossible ( should you decide to do it) The shaping is the part of the process that requires lots

I’ve been asked to do a shaping tutorial, so here is what I do for my oval or “batard” loaves: The Tartine method. -After pre-shaping my loaves I sprinkle the tops with rice flour and let rest for 20 minutes, all purpose or bread flour works too, whatever you have. I just prefer rice flour. I like to think of the tops of the loaves as the “skin” that holds the loaf together. -With a lightly floured countertop I use my bench scraper to lift the loaf, and then flip it over onto itself floured side

How to Shape Sourdough Bread Shaping sourdough creates surface tension for a good rise and crust. 1. Pre-shape: After bulk fermentation, gently form a loose round or oval. Rest 20–30 min. 2. Final shape: • Boule: Fold edges to the center, then tighten into a round. • Batard: Fold into a rectangle, roll, and seal the seam. 3. Proof: Place seam-side up in a floured basket or bowl. 4. Cold ferment (optional): Refrigerate overnight for better flavor. Proper shaping ensures a strong, airy loaf. Happy
