Bread - What are you baking today…..

Started the new year by resurrecting a severely neglected sourdough starter. Its name is Seymour for anyone wondering.

Every loaf just a little better:

anyone experimented with baking from a cold oven?

The two loaves posted above had one started in a stone cold dutch oven inside a cold oven and the other one was baked in the hot dutch oven and oven after the 1st came out of the dutch oven.  Really couldnt tell much difference and saved nearly ~45minutes of time not needing to wait for an initial preheat.

Oh, I thought I was a baker until I found this thread! Your breads look amazing! I’m usually tight on time. I found the Jim Lahey My Bread book a good way to get fresh homemade bread with little time. Definitely doesn’t have the depth of flavor as sourdough but still pretty good. He even has a chocolate coconut loaf recipe in there.

This is an excellent book about bread baking

@goosehd wow man. That is a thing of dreams. I have recently self diagnosed myself with a gluten intolerance… super tragic I know, but I am living vicariously thru this bread thread!

Been baking some bread for my fellow patients and treatment providers the last few weeks. Did I get better drugs as a result, you ask…?

Focaccia for today’s final lunch before being signed out.
