I just received my delivery from KAF and I wanted to use some of the new flours and ingredients I purchased. I decided to make a multi-flour bread using white spelt, whole spelt, rye chops (chopped up rye berries) and some black cocoa.
After the last 100% Kamut and 100% spelt bakes, both at 100% hydration, we decided to get bake to more of our normal kind of bread we like so much.
We just love the authentic, taste texture and chew of Stan Ginsberg’s Favorite Bagels that are authentic and just plain delicious any way you want to eat them. We keep messing with the grains and starters to get what we want in our favorite bagels.
Last weekend had me going. My work schedule gives me every other Friday off and last weekend was one of my 3-day weekends. First up, repairing some of the heat and drought damage that my yard suffered. Lots of weeding and raking and seeding and watering, followed by loudly protesting muscles and joints. But it's done. In another week or so I should be seeing new grass growing in areas that were entirely killed.
No proofing basket? No problem. Heh.
This past week I've acquired two new baking books worth mentioning here.
Sending this to Yeastspotting.
Another incredibly soft and shreddy sandwich bread, this time with cream cheese as the enriching ingredient.
