And away we go again.  

Toasted Sesame Sour with Spelt

further 17-20 minutes

*My flour was a bit lumpy and I didn't break up all the lumps. I pulled a few big pieces out so
the hydration is a bit higher. Very Slack. Popped real nice in hot oven.
Lovely crumb. Great toasted sesame flavor but not so visible, black sesames would be great.
Lemon did not come through.(increase significantly if to try again)

As you can see some better some worse.  A couple stuck a bit on the peel.  Crumb is from the worst of the loaves (lowest profile). 

Bounty to come soon.

 

Happy Baking

Got another succulent for the yard.  Soon our yard will be covered with them beauties.  Local Ground Lamb.  Green Peas (so good raw but I'll sautee some with butter and salt), leek and lemon sauerkraut, More early garlic for roasting, couple carrots for vision, and another gentlemen like myself traded me some goats milk feta (i owe him another loaf) He's doing the same as me.  Making small batches of goat cheese (chevre, ricotta, and feta) and trading at the market.  So fun.

Happy Weekend

I note the toasted sesame seed level is roughly the same as in Flourchild's Tortas de Aceite: 2% FW very roughly.

Nice scores!

We have a market in my town every Tuesday.   Do you just walk around and chat people up with your bread?   There are around 3 baker's selling bread at the market already.   Don't know how it would go.  Thinking...

you scored well again.  My source for goats milk dried up as they started making cheese as well as selling to cheese makers.  Your bartering is a great way to get really fine ingredients and they get real nice bread.  A win win.

Nice baking

Yeah I figured I spend 20-60 when I shop there but for 5-10 bucks I can trade for the larger amount. Takes a bit of work.  But it's fun and liberating from my daily grind. Work is great but this is just bread for fun to share

 

hosh
