Last weeks baking
It's freezing in Melbourne so I'm quite content to stay home in the warmth and bake comfort food lol
Sourdough Millers loaf from the Bourke Street Bakery cookbook.
Five Grain Sourdough loaf from The Fundamental Techniques Of Classic Bread Baking, The French Culinary Institute cookbook.
Sourdough Naan Bread with butter chicken, such a lovely quick and easy recipe. Recipe by Skibum http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/42643/sweet-levain-naan-bread
Sourdough Chocolate Brownies, my son and husband loved this recipe! http://chefindisguise.com/2013/05/20/chocolate-sourdough-brownies/
My not so pretty Chellah, need to work on this lol. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Is it under proofed ? I love this recipe and the taste is amazing but they always explode while in the oven.
Friday Night sourdough pizza.
Testing out my new steam oven, creme brûlée from the miele steam oven recipe book

Really good looking - thanks for sharing
Thanks :-)
you have there, Sonia. I was in Melbourne few years back for vacation and really enjoyed the view along Great Ocean road....it's magnificent. Your Five Grain SD looks so tantalising, feels like having a second breakfast right now! Not to mention the beautiful ' ears' you have there. May I know what's the dough hydration for it? Thinking of Melbourne now, where my brother resides....it was freezing cold the day we touched down. And it was supposed to be summer but the wind was blowing relentlessly. Oh well, I better get to my errands now. Great bakes you have there....keep up the good work.
Hi
I love the Great Ocean Road it's a gorgeous spot! Yep Melbourne's weather can be so unpredictable .
Soaker (soak for 12 hours)
Dough
The original recipe has fresh yeast added but I just use starter. I soak the seeds in the morning, make my dough at night (I use cold starter from the fridge) I proof the dough overnight on my counter. In the morning I shape the loaves and proof for 2 hour and then I bake in the oven. I bake all my breads in a clay Romertopf using a cold oven start.
