There are a few recipes of Vinschger Paarl on the net, but all of them uses yeast, so I've been experimenting using only with sourdough culture and taste just like the one I ate in South Tyrol. My South Tyrolean husband approved it :)

Are you really using 350 ml water in the main dough with 390 g flour? That seems very wet to me, how do you manage to shape round rolls ? I am German and desperate to make those rolls!

ReplyHi, yes, it’s difficult to handle. in fact I used to use 400g water for this. There are a few YouTube videos In German, demonstrate how to shape this dough. I’d use generous amount of flour to dust on your worktop. Alternatively you could just scoop up the dough and placed it to oiled and floured baking sheet straight - still tasty

Thank you for your reply. A similar recipe from a German Sourdough baking Guru, Ploetz ( Lutz Geisler) suggested only 200 ml of water in the main dough with similar amounts of flour. I used wholemeal rye and white rye, as only Shiptons rye flour gives the Ash content ( Type), which is used in Germany. I need to practise and watch the videos. I normally bake my breads in the casserole dish to trap the steam.
