Bread lessons

Profile picture for user yardsley

hello all!

Since my last post, my microbakery business was uprooted along with much of my life. It's a blurry spectrum of crisis, growth and rebuilding, but if my returning passion for bread is any indicator, life is much better these days. 

My beau is quite the fermenting aficionado and has a great interest in beer, traditionally prepared food, etc. We've been watching Michael Pollan's Cooked lately, and made it to the bread episode and he was thrilled and wanted to learn the ropes from me.

Levain Chocolate Boule

Started baking with levain a few weeks back, and it only took a few loaves to get me started on experiments and new flavors - couple that with chocolate cravings hitting with a passion - well, the rest is pretty self explanatory.
