Adventure day, many firsts!!

Today was a day of many firsts.

- used a starter that was a second generation starter i made that is both rye flour and AP flour. Her name is Faith and eventually she will be mostly AP flour as her better half is all Rye and his name is Big Poppa
- a)made a NK bread

  b)made a NK sourdough bread

- used a clay roaster for the first time (got 2 of them the other day at the thrift store.)(yes i used parchment paper, i wanted it to not stick just in case..lol)

This was a success in my books. The crust came out crunchy like i want all my SD breads to become and the crumb was soft and i have never eaten a bread with so much sponginess to it.

Looks good! Sounds like it suits your taste, too. Amazing what one can create with one’s own hands.
