figured a few tricks - these are browning evenly every time now with zero muffin top / bottom. Will follow up with some more pics of the process for those interested ...
I tried to use some fresh dill from the garden. My idea was to roast few cloves of garlic, but at the time of mixing I realized that I had forgotten to roast them. So I decided to use few cloves of black garlic that I had available around here. The following were the ingredients
86 g levain (whole wheat at 100% hydration)
30 g semolina
100 g blended whole grain berries (60 g whole wheat + 40 g rye)
167 g bread flour
174 g water
4 g salt
Handful dill
5 black garlic cloves - chopped

I made Reinhart's Sunflower Rye from BBA, and it was a nice change from our typical 10% WW/rye sourdoughs that we've been making. A tighter crumb than I'm used to getting from lower % rye recipes, but still very light.

One of the breads for tomorrow's Festive Braids class.

I baked this one before I left for my annual pilgrimage to North Carolina for Turkey Day but didn't have a chance to post it until now.
I have to say, this one is like a Challah on steroids. It is packed full of flavor and super moist which you expect from the porridge addition. It would actually make a great bread for leftover turkey.
The addition of the ricotta really pushed this one over the edge and you would never know it is 45% whole wheat.
Cousin Jay sent me this article about the death of the Montreal Bagel. Maybe we will have to import Canadian wood into NY and bake NY bagels in a WFO and sell them back into Montreal. The best of both worlds maybe?

Wife Needed Bread to Make Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey and Cranberry Sandwiches for Lunch
I’m looking for any excuse to make bread even if I can’t eat it as much as I would like – at least not yet at any rate. My wife was out of her store bought, fake, whole wheat Oroweat bread that she loves so much so I was able to bake her a loaf of SD and poolish bread to tide her over.
