Bread - What are you baking today…..

[mclaincausey]

Y'all are some skilled bakers. Always such beautiful breads on here.

Poolish…..

@Giles:

Poolish…..

Love the rustic look you get. I need to buy an oval Dutch oven at some point. Boules are lovely but I do appreciate a crusty baton (ahem…).

I have two levain doughs in bulk ferment. I should be onto the shaping but temps outside regularly drop below zero these days and there are still some drafts in the new house. It’s retarded the process…

Today’s bake…

Very nice Reuben, and bet it would go great with Giles Chili.  Couple of beers and call it an evening, or until someone gets a $300 fine for peeing in the garden.

I tend to eat my bread with a lot of rich cheese and red currant jelly that my friend Iris makes.
A bit of beer and Chili a la Padmore sounds excellent.

[Giles]

Same, same - 27% Poolish…..90% white, 10% eight-grain....

[neph93]

Ha! Me too. Double fed white levain just out of the oven.

[Giles]

Yours win

Not at all.. I love what your egg thing produces. I want one.

Edit:
Btw, have you seen these?

Cast iron bread pan!

[Giles]

I've seen similar.  My Big Green Egg thingy is expensive, but you can also use it as a casserole….

Baking Pizza today, giving a new pizza flour a try, it’s 100% Durum Wheat… pretty yellowish

[Giles]

Less rise than "ordinary" "00"?

[Chap]

Yes… not that happy. Taste been dull too. Next time 00 again.

[Giles]

Have to experiment though - well done….

@Chap first picture reminds me of a pretty hilarious post from the KitchenConfidential subreddit:

Haven’t posted in a bit; still baking! Though I guess this technically isn’t baking:

Perfect loaf “leftover” sourdough starter pancakes. Leftover in quotes because the amount needed is more than I had or usually have left over. Still works though!

Didn’t bake bread for a while… looks like it still works.
