@Giles I have a Steve who makes a mean pair of STF stretchy lounge trousers to eat bread in. Your bread, his loungewear - a perfect combo️

@Chap How long will you work with your starter before using?

It's a wholemeal rye starter. Grounded the flour and started it yesterday morning. Will feed it now until the weekend and want to use it then for a hybrid leavening dough

@Chap best of luck although it’s science and should be straight forward. I’ve contemplated doing a proper starter myself, but worry about finding the time to do it correctly. I believe @neph93 dabbled in sourdough for a bit and had success.

Might be the kick in the pants to start one myself

Thank you.

I did not do sourdoughs since the plague so it is a new start for me. I hope for more predictability with the Sourhouse.

Today’s bake is a wholemeal rye poolish with french T80 and italian Manitoba 80/20 in the final dough

My first ever baked item, toasted almond and chocolate biscotti. I prefer the more simple anise flavored cookies but I wanted to make something Darci & Millie would eat. A little rough but not bad

@Giles did another run of his famous Japanese Milk Bread. Can’t wait to taste it.

[Giles]

It's famous in our kitchen.....
