Time for Bread

Winter started with a bang this year and seemed like it would never let up!  After two months of slapdash, subsistence baking I finally managed to find enough time (and energy) to bake some decent sourdough.

A simple miche based on Leader's method in Local Breads seemed like just the thing so I mixed up a double batch using about 75% WW flour and 25% bolted "Turkey" flour.  With my kitchen being nice and cool the dough fermented for about 7.5 hours.  Loads of flavor.  Just what I've been craving.  I feel much better now.

And I'd be feeling better too, if those came out of my oven.  Good work!

Inspiring, Marcus!

I'd say, nothing beats a slice of your bread with some butter!

Well Done!

Yes, a hunk of good butter makes this bread disappear in a hurry!
