What an odd Lucy bread, actually 2 in a row, not retarding of the levain or the dough - a 2 day bread including the 18 hours to sprout, grind and sift the 9 grains used for this bread. The 8 grains were spelt, rye, white and red wheat, oat, buckwheat, Kamut and barley.
Usually Lucy comes up with a recipe and tells me what to do and then I do my best to execute her recipe wishes as closely as possible or risk having my ankles savaged by a wild beast, small in leg length. Then I tell you all about it. This time was a bit different.
It wasn’t long ago that Yippee sent me an Oriental Pullman Pan. I immediately put it to good use making a fine rye bread here 100% WG Rye & Wheat Sprouted YW/SD w/ Walnuts, Prunes, Cranberries & Sunflower that Michael Wilson liked. Michael got to taste it when he visited LA a couple of weeks ago. It is nice to have a fellow Fresh Lofian get to try some your bread - especially one like that one.
Most of us realize how tiny and insignificant we are in the scheme of things until it comes to our passions and emotions. Then all hell breaks loose and we instantly want to become the center of the Universe. I am always telling my young daughter to keep her head even when everyone else is losing theirs. On humans this sometimes works...... but for Lucy …...not so much.
This is the 3rd try at baking a bread for BBD #83. The theme is to bake a bread that has flours other than rye, spelt and wheat in it. The first one used wine for the liquid and it killed of the SD wee beasties here BBD #83 - 50% Whole 10 Grain Half Sprouted Beaujolais, Brie and Salami SD Rolls With Pistachios . The 2nd shot was a complete success but my wife gave the loaf away to a friend so I didn’t get a crumb shot here

Lucy formulated this bread as an entry for Bread Baking Day #83 here http://www.kochtopf.me/bbd-83-brot-spezialmehl-bread-special-flour where flours other than rye, red wheat and spelt were used. In this case we added, Pima Club, emmer, einkorn, Buckwheat, oat and white wheat.
We love this time of year. It is the time the first cherries come out in the stores from CA. They aren’t the great trasting cherries from the Pacific Northwest that come a bit later but they are perfect for one thing - converting the YW from apple tom cherries. We just love the cherry color the YW takes on from being fed these little jewels.

For Bread baking Day #83, found here at the KOCKTOPF Blog - http://www.kochtopf.me/bbd-83-brot-spezialmehl-bread-special-flour Lucy came up with weird bake - even for her. The theme is a bread that wasn’t just rye, spelt or wheat. Well, this was not an issue with us since our usual bread has all kinds of sprouted and whole multi-grains from the ancient to the odd.
