I found a very nice blog (in French), called Makanai (http://makanaibio.com/) - she had a recipe for pain de mie au levain that immediately called my attention.
I include a photo of my bread here, and if anyone is interested in reading a full decription plus the recipe, it is here

We loved this bread, I am sure it can be adapted to different grains and flour composition, I went with all purpose and rye flour about 3 to 1.

Re; Flo Makanai
Flo Makanai has contributed to TFL by her posting. Check the archived threads. She knows how to bake.
Yeah, she is a great baker
Yeah, she is a great baker indeed!
I've been drooling over her blog and making my list of recipes to try :-)
Hi Sally
This is Paolo from Quito...you'll be glad to hear that Flo (the author of Makanai) and other four people (also Jane from aulevain..) created a new web page: votrepain.com.
Cheers and happy baking.Paolo
Hello, Paolo! I saw that
Hello, Paolo! I saw that link over at Flo's blog - and of course HAD to bookmark it!
Nice to see Jane over there, as well as Steve, from Breadcetera. Clotilde has been making bread quite a bit too lately. Should be a cool site to visit. I am not sure they take articles written in English, or if their contest is for French-written stuff only. I didn't have time to read carefully yet.
Hi everyone! Thanks again
Hi everyone!
Thanks again Sally for your interest in Makanai :-), and thanks Paolo for mentioning our new site, votrepain.com.
We will take articles written in English for our new site www.votrepain.com, but :
- I'll then translate the post in French, too;
- I'm afraid it'll be impossible for the members of the jury to afford sending most of the prizes overseas, so your contribution, which would be a great addition to the site, might not be able to win a prize.
But please send us everything you'd like to be published on votrepain.com as long as it's about BREAD baking, we'll find a way to publish it, with pleasure, as we, bread lovers like all of you, never get tired of reading something more about bread!
Have a nice day!
