Had a quick bake today testing a recipe for a friend that was in her breadmaker booklet, it came out rather nice but i did tell her hers wont come out looking the same.
The Garlic and Herb dough placed into the cold Sassafras and washed with cornflour paste
The poppy and sesame seed applied
I stopped by the Grow NY grain stand at the local farmers market and picked up the lone bag of Frederick soft white wheat berries they had and a few bags of stone-ground flour from Farmer Ground and Small Valley Farm so I could sample some local wheat varieties and try a few bakes with professionally milled whole grain flour for comparison with Mockmilled flour. Larger bags of wheat berries can be ordered for pick up in advance. I am interested in the Renan flour, but a 50 lb minimum is a bit intimidating. If someone in the NYC area is interested in splitting an order plea
These were a huge hit the last time I made these. However, I forgot that this dough is very loose. When doing a single set of coil folds, keep at it until the dough tightens up. For example, it took 4 rotations of 90 degrees each to get the dough to firm up on most sets of coil folds.
I also did another coil fold just before dividing to give the dough a bit more structure.
Recipe
Makes 3 loaves
Add ins:
150 g Sardo Olive Bruschetta, undrained
100 g Sardo Sweet Pepper Bruschetta, undrained
Main dough:
I've been jonesing for a rye bread, so when my most recent bread (a yeasted 100% whole wheat bread with tangzhong) developed mold before the loaf was half-eaten, I seized the opportunity.
This is my first time making a porridge bread. They always looked more challenging than I was ready to tackle. After reading the entire previous CB that featured this bread (read it several times, lol), I decided to go ahead and give it a try.
Levain:
75 gm, half bread flour, half WW, 100% hydration (9 gm seed culture)
Oat soaker:
125 gm oats (home flaked)
250 gm h2o
Pinch of salt
Dough:
350 gm bread flour
Hi all, new to posting here but have often scoured this site for good information. I've been working on making a good panettone for years now and am finally getting good results and finding consistency so I thought I'd share. I follow the traditional process, using a lievto madre, 3 short refreshments during the day before mixing the first dough at night and then I mix the second dough the next morning. 48 hours or so from start to the first slice.
My husband wanted "Carraba's" bread, so I made some No-Knead Bread based on Jim Lahey's. This bread is about 90% hydration, I think it's easier to work with than the lower ones since I can feel when the dough needs to rest better (it's dramatically different).

Had planned to try a white sandwich loaf with 10% barley flour today, but my copy of Rheinhart's "Whole Grain Breads" arrived yesterday. Skimming through it and his section on mashes caught my eye. What could make better mash than barley? :-)
This is just a simple 1:2:3 bread with 30% of the flour being organic stoneground Australian Emmer flour.
Levain: Thursday afternoon first refresh. 20 g refrigerated starter + 20 g water + 20 g bread flour
Thursday evening before bed 50 g first build + 50 g water + 50 g flour. leave over night on bench, room temperature dropped to about 19°C.
Friday about 9 am refrigerated as I had to go out.
