1st post - kombucha barley sourdough bread

long-time lurker first-time poster here. I've learned so much from so many folks on here finally had to sign up and join in on the fun 

worlds colliding with this purpley kombucha barley sourdough bread

more specifically, ~2 cups of grape and pear mash from a secondary kombucha fermentation (along with lots of the probiotastic bacteria and yeasties) mixed with a whole wheat levain and a final dough approximately 60% whole wheat and 25% barley. rolled in wheat germ pre-bake.

very pleased with the results altho definitely lots to tinker with this first of many future experiments. also very cool to find another use for the fermented fruit besides feeding the compost pile!

Love the colour on this! It is very creative of you to include ingredients from a secondary fermentation in bread. Well done!
