'Nother sourdough

Toast

Simple rye/honey/water starter.  This one came out SUPER soft...incredibley soft.  I absolutely am in love with the texture.  It's kind of a mixture of all sorts of flours since I had a tons of small amounts left.  I had some organic gold&white from my co-op, KA AP, KA bread flour, and rye from my coop, and a stone ground white from a water mill a couple towns over.  Yea...5 kinds of flour in this bread.  It's wonderful!

Made this dough with flax meal added to it.  Nice stuff.  I baked it on my Lodge cast iron griddle that preheated in my oven for an hour at 550 degrees.  That's why the pizzas are a little odd shaped.  but mmmm, so tasty.  Also, some ciabatta's from a couple weeks ago.
