My friends finally convinced me to sell them my bread so this is my first batch of loaves for this endeavour. I am charging them just enough to cover my costs to supply them and the soup kitchen with bread. Of course, do I stick to the tried and true! Nope! I had to change a few things and was rewarded with overproofed loaves. Serves me right!

Due to heavy involvement in one project I am recently not very active in writing at TFL because I really have no time. However, this dos not mean that I am not baking.
I love making and eating English Muffins. They are so versatile and freeze well. I usually keep 4-5 out and freeze the rest and toast them as needed.
This is similar to the last batch I made, but this time I used Rye instead of Spelt and I added some roasted potatoes.
I was very happy with the final result. They were a little wet and I had to use a lot of bench flour, so next time cutting back on the water slightly wouldn't hurt.
The crumb was perfect for English Muffins and they toast up real nice with a smear of cream cheese :).
