Bread - What are you baking today…..

[Giles]

Pretty pleased with that crumb…..

[Matty123]

As you should be. Well done dude. It’s a pretty great feeling baking bread from scratch. Wait
Til you use your starter. You’ll feel like a true artist. Something from nothing.

Sourdough, wholemeal Rye and Wheat, no yeast, 24 hours

^ Bread looks so scrumptious ^

[Giles]

Bloody hell….

And I'm proud that I'm doing an overnighter with 0.8 gm yeast.....

::) ::)

[Chap]

Very happy with the result. I added some boiled wheat seeds making it quite succulent(?).

It‘s just a good sourdough and time

[Giles]

I'd say the overnight bulk fermentation worked…..

[Chap]

Yeah… I would say, it‘s alive

[Giles]

And baked….

[Matty123]

Right on. I love working with rye and whole wheat. The dough is so tight and nice to form. Longer bench times but delicious

[Giles]

Today, I am making white bread with Poolish.  I started the pre-ferment last night…..

[Chap]

So do I… another day, another bread.

Poolish made of „Dinkel“ (which is Spelt Wheat in english I think) flour

Sourdough starter made of wholemeal Rye:

Both started last night too and should ready for making the dough in about 3 hours

[Chap]

Poolish is really a funny thing, I added a piece of yeast in the size of a rice grain to 155grams of wheat and boom…

[Giles]

I put 0.3 of a gram of yeast with 500 gm flour and 500 gm water (well actually, I screwed up because I got the water up to temperature and threw it all in the flour before realizing there was way more than 500gm in the jug - wine may have been involved…. ).....

And
