Two Separate Inclusion Types in a Sourdough
I spent the last few days working on a 75% hydration sourdough with 10% rye and 10% whole wheat. At the first fold I divided the dough in two and added some inclusions to each half. One half had kalamata olive, fresh rosemary and lavander while the other had hemp heart and flaxseed. For my first attempt I’m feeling ok with the results but I’m sure there’s room for improvements. I hope to gain more experience and confidence with the breads I try out.

maybe I should just throw in the towel and quit posting! That is one gorgeous loaf. Awesome oven spring and I love that ear! Just wow!!!
Wow, lavender! I never would have thought to include that, but why not - it is an ingredient in some French herbal blends, after all. Rosemary and olives (or olive oil) are among my favourites.
Did you use whole or ground flax seeds? Did you soak them first? How did that one turn out? And can we please see a crumb shot? We always want the crumb shot. :)
Thanks, I'm new to this whole world, my first post and only began baking breads for the last 4 weekends. Although, I did spend a good 8 weeks working on my levain. My flaxseed were ground, first time trying them, real "earthy" flavor. I enjoyed it! I'm open to any suggestions and help. Thanks, again.

I am sure that both loaves taste delicious!!
I'm not a lavender fan but the 2 breads you made are classic ones. Now you need to get into adding nuts, cheeses, dried fruits and various Toadies to complete your transformation to a SD Jedi Master:-)
Well done and happy baking

I did quite a bit of searching before I found this:
”take a couple different kinds of bran, some wheat germ, the sifted out hard bits from home milling,oats, ground sesame, flax ad poppy seeds and dry pan brown them. These are called Toadies named after a Fresh Lofian - toad.de.b - who came up with the of toasted bits in bread.”
So there you go!
great crumb too! well done - we look forward to future posts

I guess I'm showcasing my ignorance but, what are toadies?
Very nice looking loaves! Hard to believe you just started baking - they look like the work of an old-hand! very well done! bake happy..
Just had some toast and butter from the hemp and flax loaf and like the Little Mermaid said.. it’s “A Whole New World”! So good, I honestly hate when I impress myself, but, geez. I think I’m going to make a pizza style cheese toast tonight with the olive loaf, we’ll see...
What beauties! Really great work. The shaping was also masterful.
That shape is lovely. Reminds me of the underside of an old-fashioned ship. Newbie? Half of me wants to bow to you, the other half wants to say "bite me" out of jealousy. ;-)
Nice work.
