My wife and I recently finished a vacation with two days in San Francisco. We decided that visiting bakeries was a good way to navigate the city and see some new neighborhoods (at least new to us).
Oppssss. Mabel is very shy and doesn't want her pictures posted. She is a cutie for sure though!
Experimenting with sprouted rye...
30% Sprouted Rye Sourdough
Dough flour (all freshly milled):
105g 35% Whole spelt flour
105g 35% Whole Red Fife wheat flour
A bit of background about me, I quite new to bread baking having only really starting this year and having some success following the methods of Peter Reinhart in Artisan Breads Everyday for commercial yeasted breads. I decided that I would like to try sourdough and if I was going to do that I would also try my hand at making a sourdough starter.
My first attempt didn’t seem to work out, I followed Peter Reinhart’s instructions from Artisan Breads Everyday, but after several days and little apparent activity I gave up and started again.
Hi Friends!
Overnight Country Brown — Happy Easter

This is basically a Pain de Campagne but with a bit more whole grain. I figured that a fairly plain loaf, meaning no add-ins aside from the flax, would go well with an Easter Dinner meal.
Recipe:
Makes 3 loaves
150 g high extraction spelt flour (200 g Spelt berries)
150 g high extraction rye flour (200 g rye berries)
150 g high extraction Kamut flour (200 g Kamut berries)
820 g unbleached flour
50 g freshly ground flax (50 g flax seeds)
950 g filtered water
24 g Himalayan pink salt

I have been quite lazy over the past couple of weeks buying my hot cross buns from the local bakery. I finally decided to get busy and bake a batch. The recipe I used was Floyd's recipe which I searched on this site and uses commercial yeast. I normally use a natural yeast starter, but have also been lazy of late in feeding my starter. Next batch of buns perhaps.
Happy baking and Happy Easter! Ski
