This first bread is the dark Silesian rye from Leader's Local Breads. I like how the loaf looks, and it tastes and smells wonderful like good rye breads do.
This next loaf was a whole wheat and rye sandwich loaf that I brushed with olive oil. It had a nice texture and was great spread with hummus or used for sandwiches.
Some folks like flour tortillas some like corn tortillas. – picky, picky, picky! I say make them both compromise so you only have to make one kind – half flour and half corn and cut your work in half.
this is my first trial i try to make sourdough with soaking flaxseed.
By following one of the threads here on TFL I was alerted to an amazing bread baking book that is dedicated to wholegrain breads I am referring to, of course, Peter Reinhardts "wholegrain breads". I am currently baking my way through this book and I am really enjoying the flavours of these wholegrain breads, super healthy breads. One of the biggest challanges in baking wholegrain breads is making a dough that is robust enough to hold its own shape, rise up nicely in the oven and still be soft and nicely textured inside.
Hi, friends. It's been a while since I posted.
It was almost three years ago that I made Challah using the ITJB formula for Honey Whole Wheat Challah. That was an excellent bake. Poofy and Fluffy and Yeasty and Delicious. At the time, I promised myself to try that formula with Double Knot Rolls. And this weekend I finally did. I baked the longest acronym I ever baked…HWWCDKRs. They are very photogenic. They tasted good, too.
This was a good roll to have with Pastrami-Spiced Barbecued Duck Legs (PSBBQDLs).
Here are the HWWCDKRs
My first Forkish style boule in a few months. I proofed seam side down and baked seam side up. The last time I did one of these the seams didn't open, so I did a classic, cross score. It looks like both seams and score lines opened up for an interesting loaf.
In 2007, after baking my way through all my old German bread baking books and Reinhart's "The Bread Baker's Apprentice", I checked for more bread formulas in the internet.
Another trip up north, but this time I'm staying home to tend to the dog. However some baguettes will be accompanying my wife on the journey - destination in-laws, as usual. The recent bake of Hamelman's Pain au Levain are scheduled to travel, and now these baguettes based on David Snyder's SJSD Italian Baguettes. Next up will probably be my take on his SJSD baguettes.
I was hosting a brunch, of course I had to bake something good. I came up with these little swirled knots of milk bread and chocolate bread. Both are enriched yeast doughs, lightly sweetened, rather aesthetically pleasing and very delicious. Full instructions (with lots of photos) and ingredients are now posted on mybreadandbrot.com
Cari Amici,
quell che voglio lasciarvi oggi è il racconto fotografico di una esperienza bellissima che mi ha visto prendere un treno che dalla Toscana mi ha condotta in Veneto, al fine di aiutare una associazione di volontariato che si occupa di disabili.
Insiene a tanti professionisti del settore ho potuto impastare tanto Pane e tanti dolci di grandissima qualità...ho imparato da tutti loro tante cose importanti ed insieme a loro mi sono sentita utile verso il mio prossimo.
Una esperienza che mi sento di consigliare a tutte le persone di buona volontà....
