Dill and Black Garlic Sourdough

Profile picture for user pul

I tried to use some fresh dill from the garden. My idea was to roast few cloves of garlic, but at the time of mixing I realized that I had forgotten to roast them. So I decided to use few cloves of black garlic that I had available around here. The following were the ingredients

86 g levain (whole wheat at 100% hydration)

30 g semolina

100 g blended whole grain berries (60 g whole wheat + 40 g rye)

167 g bread flour

174 g water

4 g salt

Handful dill

5 black garlic cloves - chopped

Process

Sunflower Rye

Toast

I made Reinhart's Sunflower Rye from BBA, and it was a nice change from our typical 10% WW/rye sourdoughs that we've been making. A tighter crumb than I'm used to getting from lower % rye recipes, but still very light.

Ricotta Whole Wheat Porridge Bread with Eggs

  I baked this one before I left for my annual pilgrimage to North Carolina for Turkey Day but didn't have a chance to post it until now.

I have to say, this one is like a Challah on steroids.  It is packed full of flavor and super moist which you expect from the porridge addition.  It would actually make a great bread for leftover turkey.

The addition of the ricotta really pushed this one over the edge and you would never know it is 45% whole wheat.
