First bread of the year..
Hello,
Here was my first bread of the year. I was looking to make a lean(er) type sourdough bread, but strike a stronger balance of sweet vs. sour, so I used the natural unfiltered honey I got from the beekeeper nearby, and increased it 10% by weight of flour. 80% is white flour, 20% is whole einkorn (unsifted) flour.
Maybe a little under-final-proofed, but it is well fermented, light and fluffy, and goes very nicely with spreads or a sandwich. I'm glad there weren't too many large holes because I was given a whole set of delicious berry spreads for the holidays. It turned a bit dark in the oven, especially near the crusty parts, but I didn't mind too much. They are tasty crunches.
