SD Seed Bread & Semolina Pine Nut
While in NY last month, I noticed this irresistible Sourdough Bread Making Kit in the window of a "health foods" store. I resisted.
We visited with my brother and sister-in-law last week in New Mexico. Sandra wanted to bake a few different breads than those she had made before and wanted to try her hand, and taste buds, on these two. I brought out much of the goods and formulas for her, and off she went...
Hamelman SD Seed Bread.
My version of Amy's Bread / Susan's Wild Yeast Semolina with pine nuts, fennel and golden raisins.
She wanted to mix and bake both concurrently.

A pleasant time was had by all.

Wow stunning views from their home Alan. Now, did Sandra bake those on her own or with your help. I would have guessed that you made those or that you taught her extremely well.
What was in that sourdough kit, curious minds want to know LOL

something for their $48...
Oh dear, that crumb of the loaf in the photo isn’t very good looking.

The Sandia mountains are more majestic than this picture lends itself to.
All the handiwork is hers. I just watch over like Mother Duck and add a comment or guidance here and there. She's been at it for a few years now since we had a "training session" there. She taught a neighbor how to make my faux Jewish Deli Rye bread - who thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread 🙄.
Inside the box are snips and snails and puppy dog tails! There's probably a piece of paper inside the otherwise empty box that says look up Debra Wink's Pineapple Juice solution on TFL.
Very impressive loaves. Love the scenery also, beautiful. Baking experiences with family are precious and memorable.
is a talented at both painting and ceramics - all of the dishes and cups in their house are from her potter's wheel. And she's a kitchen wizard too, so no surprise that she took to bread baking like a hippo takes to water - we also saw a month old hippo at the zoo there the other day, spending most of its time at mother's side and under water.
Here's one she did a few years ago of our now departed baby girl. The face should look familiar...
OK she is very talented, that is a lovely painting.
Here's one she did of me on this last visit...
Nice tattoo on your neck. Very Picasso like. 😉
