Meet My New Favourite Formula...

Toast

This is what happens when I combine my top three favourite flour in one bake.

 

 

20% Sprouted Quinoa 10% Barley Sourdough

 

Dough flour (all freshly milled):

210g      70%       Whole spelt flour

60g        20%       Sprouted white quinoa flour

Cheaty 123 Sourdough: Double Rice Comte SD

Toast

With some simple calculations, you’ll realize that the 123 formula creates dough with a hydration of roughly 71.4%. This is totally fine if you’re working with white dough but not so much for someone like me, who prefers baking with higher percentages of whole grain. That’s why I made a porridge with batter-like consistency to bring the hydration up to 92% :)

Miso Caramelized Chestnuts Sourdough

Toast

Although the daytime temperature is still above 25°C in HK, hawkers selling roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes are starting to show up on the roadside. Of course I cannot miss out the opportunity to them in bread.
