Lucy was intrigues by David Snyder’s recent repost of his 2011 WW yeast bread from BBA using txfarmer’s intensive kneading technique. We aren’t much into yeast breads or enriched yeast breads but any technique that might lighten the load of whole grain SD breads is worth a try.
Gosselin levain baguettes with Whole Wheat
Referencing back to David Snyder's wonderful levain version of the also wonderful Gosselin baguettes, I decided to make another change and subbed out a bunch of the AP flour for Whole Wheat. This brought the whole grain, including what is in the levain itself up to ~33% of the total flour. A pretty hearty version.
Cooks illustrated has a baguette recipe where they sift some whole wheat flour.They claim the big particles of bran hurt by cutting it.Is this true????If it is can you use a food processor to grind the whole wheat flour finer rather than sift....Thank You..
This is my first bake for 2016 and it is my most outrageous bake to date!
My misadventure in shaping my dough which was based on Hamelman's Vermont Sourdough with increased whole grain turned out looking like a bit of Ken Forkish's style. Not complaining.
Adapted from Hamelman's Vermont Sourdough with increased whole grain. Subbed the rye with freshly ground whole wheat. Instead of mixing with the mixer, I mixed by hand and gave the dough 3 additional folds that the recipe called for during bulk fermentation. I also added a cold bulk fermentation after the 3 folds, for about 4 hours, pre-shaped and benched and and final proofed for 1 hour after shaping.
This was first experiment with Golden Buffalo flour from Heartland Mills. My first time ever using a whole wheat flour.
I made the basic boule from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day (François & Hertzberg) since I have made it a lot with good old all purpose King Arthur flour and I wanted a good comparison for the outcome.
It turned out pretty tasty!
Hello,
As I found a website which describes about different varieties of bread I am interested to explain about how to cook a bread halwa. I loves traveling very much and I am working for a car rental service. We can't live without food. When traveling the most important thing is food. Breads are easily available and made of wheat .Breads can be stored for several days in cool and here some exotic bread recipes. Here is a simple recipie of how to make Bread Halwa:
These days my bloggin' is even more sporadical than my bakin'. I seem to bake once or so every month these days. I've made no great breakthroughs. It's still usually good bread, but not blogworthy.
I have been trying some things from the Della Fattoria book. And I got one of those fancy proofing boxes for Hannukah, and have been using it.
But the best news is the old news...San Francisco Country Sourdough still makes me (and my number one bread fan) very happy.
Here's some crumb:
This bread is the result of a coworker giving me a chunk of Asiago cheese and asking if I could make bread with it. A friends home brewed ale sounded like it would round out the flavors. It also has some agave syrup, and a little fresh ground pepper. 40% of the flour was in a sourdough preferment and 25% was sprouted multigrain along with AP and just a little WWW. It came out to 72% hydration with beer and water.
