We have one dozen buttery parsley/onion/garlic rolls to go with dinner.
We have one dozen sandwich buns for leftover turkey sandwiches.
And one standard loaf of bread because we were out!
Happiest of holidays to you all, and may the new year bring you new techniques, new tastes and great year of delicious breads!
From México We wish you all, a great holiday. Hoping the next year all your dreams "rise", and your plans have a great "oven spring" .
Have a happy baking on Xmas and New Years Eve.
Felicidades a todos. "Congratulations to everybody".
Sincerely,
GyG
We though panettone would be the last bake of the year, and it will be, but Lucy found at least two more bakes before then - to use up some more panettone white SD / YW levain.
This one is for some white croutons to be used for the turkey stuffing on Christmas day. Since the stuffing will have walnuts in it we put some in the bread just to keep it from being completely boring.

with icing so sweet.
As previously suggested I made a go at SJSD using commercial yeast. I used the TFL feature (where the SJSD recipe is posted) to make a half batch of dough.
[u]Notes and Deviations from normal SJSD recipe:[/u]
1. Used 1/4 tsp of commercial yeast
2. Added yeast to 25g flour and 25g water and put it in fridge (to replicate 50g of starter called for in recipe)
3. Autolysed all of the flour for about 24 hours (was supposed to be overnight but timing got fouled up and had to go even longer)
Since I cant find any >14% high gluten flour in the market, I substituted it with 520g bread flour plus 50G of VWG
Levain Build 1
- 235G Starter
- 40G >14% high gluten flour
Let it ferment at room temp for 4 hours
Build 2
- All of build 1
- 80G >14% high gluten flour
- 45G Water
Cover n ferment overnight
Final Dough
- 450G >14% high gluten flour
- 120G WW flour
- All levain
- 12G Salt
- 14G Malt Powder
- 14G Milk Powder
- 14G Sugar
Last week I made a similar loaf which ended up with a flat disc. With enormous help I get from Josh and DA. This week I pull myself together and try again. I got so excited when its out of the oven, coz it looks like a successful bake to me.
Heres my formulae
200G white Levain (100% hydration)
600G Wholewheat flour
400G AP Flour
780G Water
20G pre-soaked raisin water
20G Salt
3cups Raisin
2Tbs Cinnamon
1) Mixed starter, flour and water autolyse for 60mins
2) At the same time, soak raisins with warm water
Decided to try my hand at Fuogasse, first time ever.

After 3 folds I added said Olives & Herbs
For those who end up with a gazillion pounds of starter when making panettone, English muffins are a great way to use up some of it without having to toss it,
We used the basic method that kjknit's used which calls for 280 g of flour and 240 g of milk with, in this case, 50g of SD and YW mixed levain all mix up together and left to double or triple overnight on the counter in a 1 quart Pyrex measuring cup overnight for at least 8 hours.
So, now that I am nearly a novice bread maker and able to make a loaf of bread almost from memory,* I decided it is time to stretch my wings and see if I can make the bread in my Lodge loaf pan.
