Micro Bakery? haha!

I decided to use some leftover starter so made these 'mini loaves'

Each one is 50g flour with 50g of starter

They did not prove in time yesterday so I retarded them in the fridge overnight and baked them for breakfast this morning.  In practice they did over prove a little but hey ho, still tasty :)

Each loaf (haha) consists of 50% strong white flour, one is all white, the next is wholemeal and the next is rye.  The 'interloper' at the back is a 75g wholemeal rye Soda bread that I made at the same time  (to use up some fresh buttermilk from this weeks butter production, and because the oven was hot!)

It all started out as a test and was fun for a laugh :)

 

Here they are 'brewing' ....

 

ready for the oven ....

 

on a large dinner plate ....

 

ready to eat .... :)

 

It's a good job I don't take myself too seriously!  We have devoured them for breakfast so no 'crumb' shots.

Ah well, off to work now :)

I love how you display your mini boules with the lovely plate.  So lovely, I ordered one for myself...

Do you mind sharing the temperature and time you baked these cuties? Thanks.

Hehe, thankyou ;)

I baked them on a quarry tile in my fan oven at 230c for 8 mins with steam (a tin of water in the base) then for 4 minutes without.  I also use a Thermapen and the core temperature had reached 96c

The soda bread I baked afterwards for 16 mins at 230 (no steam)
