Bread - What are you baking today…..

Sourhouse in the house. Making starter next level… (hopefully )

[Chap]

Someone will have pizza tomorrow

Day 2 that looks promising

@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.....

Forkish Biga with French T80, Italian Manitoba, fresh grounded whole wheat and a bit of French Rye.

Nice @goosehd ! What recipe did you work from?

[goosehd]

@Chap the Padmore/Forkish poolish one.

350 g white flour
50 g other flour
280 g water
10 g salt
2 g yeast

Starter:

150 g flour
150 g water
Pinch of yeast ~1/8 tsp

[Chap]

First Sourdough only bake with the new starter seemed to be a success. Flour is 70% French T80 and 30% Manitoba.

[Giles]

Oh yes.....

[goosehd]

@Chap beautiful and I hope tastes as good. Did you use a bread lame?

I assume you have judging from the straightness of the lines.

Yes, was a seam down bake and I used a lame. First time I had such a good result with a lame.
