Thank you Jane, JMonkey and Tom,
I finally had sucess getting decent (not as big as Jane's) Holes in my whole wheat Sourdough!!! The taste was definitely much superior to my previous attempts :)
I also made a hazelnul & a seeded bread with same dough. They looked gorgeous but did't have any impressive holes:
My staple bread for the past couple of years has been a miche. I started doing the BBA recipe with half bread flour and half KA whole wheat flour. Lately I've been experimenting with different blends of organic and sifted flours. I haven't yet settled on one recipe and change things every time I do it lately, but I thought I'd describe this basic recipe.
Well, I am not losing my mind, at least not over some carda-whatever. I have a picture of a label in my camera-phone that I will have to upload if I can figure out how. The label on the containers of carda-whatever are actually spelled wrong! HA, no wonder I was confused.
My son is a huge Legend of Zelda fan. He has been for years actually.
When he was 3, he wanted to dress as the hero "Link" (Green Boy, as he called him) for Halloween.
Here was his costume:
This weekend I got to try a couple of flours that I haven't used previously.
Here are the NKB and the hearth breads I mentioned earlier:
If this works, you will see a photo of the previously mentioned breads I tried today...
Hi to all at this great website
My name is Jonty, and I am a college student too enamored with baking to waste time on my first ever blog on some other topic (ie: indie music, saving the world, angsty stuff).
Today I tried to make the NYT no-knead bread. I didn't have a heavy covered pot so I just put it in a baking dish, uncovered. I tried to post a picture of it, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong because nothing is happening. I got all excited, taking pictures of the loaf, grain, etc. My husband thought I was nuts! I don't know how it was supposed to be inside, but it was spongy with even holes that were quite a bit larger than my normal homemade hearth loaf.
Pretty good.
