Bread Making of Chief Crumb and A Little Bird Crust
The ideal atmosphere in the kitchen for making Chef Crumb is 26℃ and a humidity of 60%.
Yes, it is a little bit humid, but it creates a lovely climate for the dough. You need to set the water temperature correctly as well so you will get the ideal dough temperature when the kneading is completed.
Okay, now, sieve the flour on to the work surface area.
If you are mixing by hand:
Flour temperature + Room temperature + water temperature= 80℃
Note that the number you get is simply a reference number. There should never be an exact temperature set for the mixing water.
The highest maximum temperature of water is 40℃, as yeast will be less active over 40℃.
In the winter or summer, there might be a slight difference. It should be set a little higher than the number you get in winter, and for summer vice versa.
