Champlain goes to Germany!

I had to squeeze in another bake before visiting family in Germany  and as they normally just see photos I wanted to take a loaf with me. I also came across some white spelt from Doves Farm rather than the usual WW spelt and the dough felt much softer.....

Inspired by Ru's scoring I gave a pattern a go for the first time!

The square scoring turned the other loaf into a spaceship....

That is what is known as Elephant Ear and highly sought after.  You probably need hunting license for it in Europe just like in the USA:-)  Your German family should love a nice white bread for a change especially when they look so nice.

Great baking Salty!

emerging from people's ovens have just been incredible these past few years.  I wasn't hip to TFL's existence in it's first decade because I hadn't taken up the "challenge" of home baking until a few years ago.  And like so many others, I stumbled across it during an internet search for guidance.

Sure, there have been the handful of gifted bakers in the early days displaying their excellent wares here way back, no need to provide a laundry list.  But now it seems line every Tom, Dick and Harry and Kat are consistently producing some extraordinary stuff.  It sure is fun to be a part of the ride...

Lovely - as usual, but remember the old adage: don't put all of your breads in one basket!

That crumb looks perfect and nice scoring on the earthbound loaf!
