I considered throwing this idea out there as a hypothetical but never got around to it. So, I went with my preferred method: bake first, ask questions later. The question that led to this formula went something like this: Instead of adding yeast to a rye sourdough, as so many book formulas do, what would happen if I added some whole wheat starter?
When I was young fresh fruit was a great treat and not common in Icelandic diet. Today fresh fruit of many sorts is readily available year round allowing one to bake galette year round!
Pastry:
1 cup flour (125-130g)
4 oz. cold butter unsalted (113g)
pinch salt (or more if you like)
ice water (30-50ml, enough to make pastry workable)
can someone help me out here if i was to make a loaf off bread and didnt add no ascorbic to the mixs can someone explaining why the ingredient or the proess has caused the fault
thanks
This time last week I had just started a new responsibility. Having been in Colorado a solid week and a half and started working at an old bakery in an institution of a hotel I came to find my days off horribly split across the weekend. Friday and Sunday off? What would happen, pray tell, to my Saturday? Fortune has turned her most beautiful face my way and I came to find that I would have two days off, in a row no less! It was simply cause for celebration. That being said, I decided to bake bread.
makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf(680g)
1 cup sourdough starter
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
playing with my new favorite flour, very nutty tasting flour, makes fantastic bread loaves.
made with a rolled oat and honey preferment....i'll post the recipe in a bit..
made these for the first time, a bit of work goes into them, but well worth the work!! fork split and toasted with a lot of butter......UHHHHHH!
Hi! I just want to share these photos with you. I baked this bread a few weeks ago, soon after I made my AYW. The water was fresh, sweet, mild. The formula was very simple, and the bread was delicious. I'm not sure I used YeastWater properly (all the liquid was YW, and I did not made a preferment), but I take it as an experiment with a good result.
The formula was:
My partner is great at preserves and has recently turned her hand to olives, which were sourced from our small potted olive tree and branches overhanging fences around the neighbourhood. We see scrumping as a form of urban harvesting - the olives we took would have fallen to the street and rotted.
Last week was the big reveal. We'd waited months for the moment of tasting, so decided to make an occasion of it with a big farmhouse platter for dinner featuring the olives, an assortment of cheeses, some crudites and prosciuotto - and of course, a nice red.
