@Giles:

My Biga did its job overnight…...

I'm so envious of how you can open the double doors out onto the back garden.  That kitchen really is lovely.

@ everyone- breads look amazing! Really cool to see so many of us around the world baking and sharing photos. If only we could share the bread!
@Chap interesting- that did not happen to mine, no idea what would cause that. What did you think of working with spelt?

This has been a fun thread to follow. Never thought I’d be making bread until @neph93 informed me that homemade was carb free. Going to try and up my game with my own starter. My kids found this article fascinating. They love anything that mentions farts.

All this bread looked so good I decided to buy the book and give it a go. I'm pretty happy with the result for having never baked anything before, let alone bread in a dutch oven. This is the Saturday white bread, the first recipe in the book for inexperienced bakers like myself.

[Giles]

That looks great…..My 2 favourite from the book atm the are the Poolish white and the 80% Biga white...

This is my Biga this morning.  The tape marked where it was just after the mix at 19:00 last night…..

@neversummer I like it especially with your recipe it was quite easy to handle. The dough was sticky but still good to fold. Taste is nice too… Spelt is quite common in Austria. Half of the bread sold in bakerys are spelt or combinations with spelt. I think each country has it's own preferences regarding bread. In Austria most of the breads sold are dark, with rye or combinations of rye/wheat/spelt and a rising amount of bread made and sold are whole-grain or partly whole-grain. The kind of sourdough bread like the recipes of Forkish, Maurizio aso is not very common in Austria. Since some years ancient grains like Khorasan, Emmer or Einkorn became very popular too.
My today's bread will be a mostly whole-grain rye/khorasan/spelt bread with a rye levain and a spelt poolish.

@Chap  that is a work of art buddy. Beautiful. I’d love some avocado on that or some good ham with cream cheese. Very nice.
