White Spelt "City Bread" - Sort of

Well I started off trying to recreate this great looking white spelt bread from "Tartine Bread Experiment" but I took some twists and turns on the way. It ended up pretty darn good considering there was a whole lot of improvising going on.

Read my hopefully somewhat amusing breakdown at Wandering Bread.

Love your story about your bread.  Hope your audition turned out as well as your "soup" bread did :).

I saw the same post last week and have made a mental note to try that circle slash as well.

Many a foul word has been uttered in my kitchen while attempting a loaf.  I won't mention the time the baguette stuck to my peel and ended up on the floor of my oven and kitchen.  My cats hid for several hours :).

Hah! Yes, I always have heart palpitations when I take high hydration doughs out of their proofing bowls after a set of them adhered to the floured tea towels and shredded into stringy pancakes. It's sure a lot of work to baby some dough over several days only to have it go all wrong at the very last minute!

not one to try a spiral cut when short straight ones elude me :-)   A beautiful loaf trough tials and tribulations makes it all worthwhile.

Ncie baking!
