By adding some yeast to speed up my winter sourdough baking I received teriffic results. I used my Cuisinart 5 quart mixer for kneading and 8 inch proofing baskets.

Hello,
I love what you've put into this loaf - those seeds look delicious.
The crumb looks great - and I especially like the rippled texture on the crust.
Beautiful loaf!

Very pretty!

I added a wee bit olive oil and am trying this as a sandwich loaf today for the kids.
