Sourdough Seed Bread
Hi everyone! Here is one of my latest "creations". I'm very very pleased with the "look" the "taste", the "smell", the "everything". The loaf filled the house with its aroma, I could sniff it from the other room. I followed Hamelman's instructions, only I didn't toast the seeds in the oven, but in a frying pan. I did 2 S -F at 50 min interval, and retarded the dough in the fridge for 10 hours.
You can find complete recipe and more photos at my romanian blog, with a funny translator available Apa.Faina.Sare.

as a rectangular banneton, I will try that. Your loaf is, again, so beautiful, codruta.

Great photography and bread. Very clever homemade proofing box too.

I don't have a banneton and I also prefer to shape the loafs in a free form, rather than bowls. My improvised box worked very good. It was the first time I used that.
Codruta,
That is possibly the most attractive loaf of bread I have ever seen.

What they said: beautiful, beautiful bread and a very clever proofing box.
Great idea to place the bread in the bag for support....! Do you cut the bag to transfer the loaf?
Sylvia
It looks delicious, too.

Hi Codruta,
I think this formula of Hamelman's is one that many members of TFL have really enjoyed making more than most.
Your own effort is superb
Best wishes

Beautiful bread, Codruta. And very creative with the proofing box. Your shaping and scoring are spot on.
Best,
Syd
Very nice, codruta. Should be in books or magazines. I bet it tasted as good as it looks.
thank you all for your great support! I really appreciate it!
Sylvia, I didn't cut the bag, I manage somehow to flip it. Since then I think I improved my method, I made a semi box from thick cardboard, without the two small sides. The large sides can be swung (or swing, I don't now the proper word). If it works better, I'll let you all know. Anyway, the paper bag was a huge help, easy to move from table to fridge and viceversa, I only wondered "Why didn't I thought of it before??!!"
cheers, codruta
