 Sadly, all the pictured I took of this bake were taken at the wrong steting resulting in files that were too large to upload - so we make do with a few crumb shots

After 3 weeks of white SD combinations to formulate a modern SFSD, Lucy has gone back to her darker side that she calls ‘Sweetness in Life’ we went back to exploring a 100% sprouted multi-grain bread.  100% sprouted breads are difficult to make and have then come out looking half decent…. without over fermenting and or over proofing.

Lucy has been pretty nuts this week going on about how she thinks the wee beasties in SD are really extraterrestrials sent here by more superior wee beasties to take over the Earth after killing us all and using us as a food source in place of the bland flour and water diet they are on now.

I say we have a challenge bake for this wonderful day which celebrates what we do every week!  Post them here the week of November 17th.  

Happy baking 

Not quite a year ago Lucy took a shot a sprouted SFSD that had a bit of sprouted whole grains here

You can always tell what the current everyday bread is around here when the freezer is getting close to being empty. – like it is right now.  We didn’t make a bread last Friday and we have been giving away some of it the past two weeks too.

Lucy couldn't even remember the time we had pizza - and we love making pizza nearly as much as we love eating it.  This one had a fast crust since we didn't decide to have pizza until 2 PM for dinner at 6 PM.

Se we went with a fast dough using a couple of large pinches of instant yeast, have high gluten and half bread flour and no whole grains. I hope Lucy doesn't burn in doggy hell for this.

Ancient alien theorists have long thought that the wee beasties found in SD are really tiny aliens brought here long ago by more complex and intelligent space traveling ancient aliens.  Lucy is a firm believer in these theories and has one of her own.

Yesterday was teeth cleaning day at the dentist.  I usually bring in a few of my last couple 3 weeks bakes for them to sample for their lunch.  This time I put in a Nelson Mandela Rye, the 50% whole multigrain sprouter and the seeded 30% multigrain sprouter all from the freezer.

Borodinsky bread was being baked long before the Battle of Borodino that supposedly led to its name and way before the Commies in Russia decided to standardize the recipe to make sourcing the ingredients for the bread much easier.  When the Soviet government says this is the way this bread is to be made then that is it – no variants or options allowed.  Free people don’t live like that of course.
