my mom's garden.. she lives 3 hours drive away from me. she caught a busy bee gathering honey from her bush flower tree :)
this bread have a good sour using a sponge method and i did retard the dough for 12 hours. suprisingly not sweet.. just hint of sweet from the dates.
little crunch from the beautiful green sunflower seeds.
good with smoke salmon n Gorgonzola !!
happy baking and gardening
