Profile picture for user idaveindy

A "Sot-sot" flatbread. Some of this - some of that.   Nothing was measured except for a scant 1/8 tsp of salt.

1. Some starter discard, last fed 8 days ago. 100% hydration. Store brand AP flour.

2. Some bottled spring water.

3. Some home-milled whole grain Prairie Gold, hard white spring wheat.

4. Some home-milled whole grain Kamut.

Anis Bouabsa Sesame Seed Baguettes

Having only made Bouabsa baguettes once very early on when I first started to bake baguettes I thought it was time to try them again.  Because I’ve been enjoying seeded crusts on baguettes lately I thought I should use sesame seeds to enhance the flavour and bite.

Sweet Sourdough Rye Focaccia with Apples

Profile picture for user ifs201

This was my first bake since giving birth last week so I wanted to keep it fairly simple and also start working through my enormous rye berry stash. This was a recipe by Artisan Bryan for KAF using 40% rye and 60% KABF. I followed the recipe, but used home-milled rye instead of medium rye and substituted apples and cinnamon for the peaches used in the recipe. I would recommend this recipe. It's not too sweet and I think it would also make a great turkey or chicken salad sandwich bread. 

Flavours of Greece Sourdough

One of my customers requested a savory loaf with feta and olives so I made a repeat of this one but by using James (Ciabbata)’s method. I was going to try to dump all the add-ins at the beginning but I had second thoughts because of the oily  nature of the extras. Then I decided that I could add the extras while laminating the dough which is something I’ve never done (the lamination). Experimentation is good, right? So here goes…

 

Recipe:

 

Makes 3 loaves

 

Add-ins:

Sundried Tomato Shallot Herbs de Provence Sourdough Boule

I seldom make boules, so I decided I need to brush off some of the rust on that skill and also had long wanted to make a bread with sundried tomatoes, so here is my take on this.

 

For one loaf only. Total weight ~ 900 

340 g white bread flour 80% total

87 g whole wheat flour 20% total 

Total Flour = 427 g

 

Total water 307 g 78% hydration  (82% hydration first time)

 

Final dough for mixing

340 g white bread flour

49 g whole red fife flour
