I managed to find some of Cedar Mountain's recipes on Tapatalk and since hubby had requested a rye loaf for this week, I thought I would give it a shot. It didn't get the oven spring that Cedar Mountain gets but it sure smells wonderful. Crumb shot will be forthcoming once we cut into it.

I had to go out of town for a funeral so my usual routine of making dough on Saturday and baking on Sunday didn't work. So a yeast bread with multigrain flour and some black sesame seeds that could be done in one day was what happened. The recipe is loosely based on Forkish's Saturday breads.

You are all going to think that I keep posting the same loaf of bread over and over again because they all look so much alike! Ha ha! I promise that they are all different. 

These aren't the best looking baguettes in the world but they did taste pretty good for an all white flour baguette. I originally planned to sub out some of the flour for some whole grain flour but being in a rush to do things, I completely forgot. I needed these to go with a caramelized onion, bacon, cheese dip that I was bringing to a friend's house for New Year's eve.

Here is the link where I got the recipe:

80% Hydration Baguettes

First bake of 2017! I have quite the collection of ingredients in my downstairs fridge so I need to start using it up. One shelf has grown to two and if I don't thin it out, it will take over the fridge. ;-)

Before I got into making bread by hand, this is the bread that I made in the bread machine. The original recipe is for a 1.5 lb loaf from the CD Kitchen website. I played with it adjusting the quantities for a 2 lb loaf since that is the minimum size loaf for the bread machine I have.

My daughter requested that I make this for Xmas dinner. So this weekend's bake was not very exciting. I did make 3 of these loaves for the soup kitchen as well. 

These were also done for Xmas dinner tonight.

I really liked how the Triple Kamut loaf turned out so I repeated it and also made up a Triple Spelt loaf. I used fresh ground spelt flour so I am really curious to see what it tastes like. We are having Xmas dinner today so I was busy baking all kinds of bread. Here is the recipe for the Triple Spelt loaf.

One of my pilates instructor is going to a party and she has to bring a homemade gift. The problem is that she isn't very domestic so I volunteered to make her one of those soups in a jar and a loaf of bread. While I was at it, I made up enough dough to give the soup kitchen 3 loaves next Monday. I usually bake for them on Sunday but I can't make up the dough on Saturday as usual since my family is having Xmas dinner on Saturday and I won't be home. So this worked out well.
