I'm in Heaven with my Best Yet

April 30, 2009 - 6:42pm -- flournwater

After a month my sourdough starter is finally developing the flavor I believe it should have.  That, coupled with half a dozen adjustments in the recipe I started with and the unprecedented generosity of those on this site who have helped me solve more than one problem, has rewarded me with twins.  I am thrilled.  Having two one pound loaves means I can enjoy this a day or two longer.

Great crumb, nice tooth, great flavor.  Now, can I do it again?

My sourdough baguettes

April 17, 2009 - 1:21pm -- althetrainer

Made these today, used just flour, water, salt, and sourdough starter, baked weigh is about 500-g each.  The crust was good and the crumb was soft, not too holey.  I used corn meal on the cooking sheets but the baguettes were stuck.  I have never had that problem before...   I had to go to work this morning while the baguettes rose in the cold oven.  By the time I came home they had been sitting in the oven, on the cookie sheets, for 4-1/2 hours.  Not sure if it was the reason they got stuck.  I practically had to chisel them out.  Next time I will try parchment paper instead.

A fabulous collection of bread videos

April 11, 2009 - 11:13pm -- dmsnyder

I encountered this web site while searching for something else entirely. It is a French site for professional bakers. It has lots of great material, but I was especially impressed by its collection of videos pertaining to bread and pastry baking. The collection includes visits to many famous French bakeries, interviews with bakers, instructional videos, humorous videos and more.

Enjoy!
