My laptop has been in the shop, so for the past few days I've only been on the site long enough to check that there was no spam. That said, it looks like there have been some very good posts lately, like ehanner's garlic bread and bwraith's recent blog posts. I have some catching up to do. I did bake this weekend. I tried a sourdough with chocolate chips. I added milk and some sugar to the dough and bumped up the amount of starter to around 10%.

Potato Bread with Roasted Onions

Here is a Potato Bread with Roasted Onions from Jeffrey Hamelman's Bread. Nice moist crumb, crackly crust and lots of flavor. It's a yeasted dough with a pate fermentee. I shaped it in the fendu style, as recommended by Hamelman. Next time I will initially roast the onions a bit less, as they end up a bit too toasty after the long bake required of a potato bread.

I'm not sure who mentioned this loaf recently, but many thanks to whoever it was. Just took the loaf out of the oven and it is lovely, and I have to admit I was a bit sceptical when I had to refrigerate it overnight. It seemed like a long time for the starter to keep working with the overnight on the counter too. Oh ye of little faith! Another first - I refreshed my starter and put it in a small jar and it overflowed. What a mess, but I guess it is getting stronger? There are HUGE snowflakes falling past my window but so far it isn't sticking, A.

I was concerned that my success with the whole grain hearth bread that I posted about early last month was just a one-hit wonder. Thankfully, it seems I can repeat it. Here's a few loaves that have come out of the oven in the past weeks:
