Tried out the one of the brioche recipes. Followed the mixing instructions. Came out great. I like that you retard it overnight in the fridge. Warm brioche for breakfast with coffee and jam, wonderful. I baked it at 325 w/convection.
For the 2nd test of our new 2 week old WW starter, we though we would continue our 100% whole grain quest to a 3rd bake, similar to the last 2, but making a few changes along the way as my apprentice usually does. She just can’t leave well enough, or me either for that matter, alone.
weekend baking is always for friends. my friends have no preference, so it allows me to experiment and practice... !!
getting confident with my hands :)
i am making bread now as well for Sunday's friends. more practice
I haven't made bread with my Yeast Water starter in a while so I figured I would try making a YW levain using my proofer set at 86 degrees F. and see how it came out. I was hoping the proofer would allow the YW levain to develop better than it usually does and it did not disappoint. The levain was made in 2 builds with the first one lasting 7 hours and the second about 4 hours.
