This bake went well enough, I think I am ready to move onto the next phase of perfecting this recipe... flavor.
Recap:
The wife has tasked me to come up with a sandwich bread recipe our family can bake at least once a weak to completely replace our regularly purchased box store sandwich bread.
Requirements
Ok, know your skills - bakers percentages and dough handling. Know how to prepare and use leaven.
Hi everyone. I was given an older Omcan proofing cabinet with heat and humidity settings. I am unable to find a manual for using this though and wondered if you pros out there would share you settings that you use for bread, buns, and pastry proofing?
Thank you so much.
Snow flying outside, Christmas tree up, and a day off from work. Sounds like the perfect day to bake up some baguettes.
About 55 years ago, my maiden aunt, who had actually lived in Paris, gave me a copy of "Larousse Gastronomique".
Under the entry "Bread" it says:
Round #3 of experimenting with "Skipping the Bulk Ferment" step.

I’m just going to copy and paste the last week of a “new starter” journal I started on my phone. I started it to get my thoughts out and organize them as I agonized at the 8 day mark of starting a starter from scratch. For background, I have baked with sourdough off and on for the last 12 years and have almost no experience with bakers yeast. I’ll do it for a time and set it aside for a time as my interest wanes. I’ve saved starters in the fridge for long periods, or thrown them away and later bummed some from friends. I have never cultured my own.
This is a loaf of simple sourdough bread that can be done by anybody without prior bread baking experience. It is a one day bread, but if you want, of course, it can be retarded in the fridge during the final fermentation.
Sandwich bread is very popular as enriched with milk, butter, sugar. My recipe is not an enriched loaf. Is a simple sandwich bread made from the 3 basic bread ingredients: flour, water and salt.
Buttermilk-Spelt Bread with Rye Sour
David Snyder
December, 2020
I had a quart of buttermilk in the fridge. I only needed a cup for pancakes. I hated to waste any. And I had some really nice rye sour left over from the rye breads I baked last week. And there was a newly-arrived bag of spelt berries in the pantry. So, I made Cecilia Agni Hadiyanto’s Buttermilk-Spelt Sourdough Bread using a rye sour for leavening.
