I baked three loaves of sourdough yesterday. The dough was lower hydration than I typically do, but they turned out real nice.
I also made pita bread for lunch. The kids loved rolling them out and eating them. I have to remember to make them more often.
I figured I'd start this blog to track my bread-making and encourage constructive criticism so that I can improve my bread-making skills. Feedback is welcome.
Made some pizza last night. It finally got over 50 degrees here and for whatever reason I was in a major pizza mood!
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.
This is a variation of the Bread with Olives recipe. The whole recipe is reproduced here (including identical steps), so you don't have to go back and forth between both of them.
I'm baking this one tonight, so I'll make a nice braid and post the photo later.
my first sourdough loaf... as i suspected since the starter was only a week old, it was not the strongest of sourdough i've ever had, but it was not bad. tasted more like a french bread with a slight sour. my family ate it up!
I'm brand new to this site, and WOW! Awesome stuff. I had never really ventured out online to find bread baking forums before. I just kind of did my own thing and learned from people along the way (mainly my father, who's an excellent baker) and cook really only for myself and my girlfriend. I have baked professionally in the past, but now have my own business in the financial markets and get to bake at home whenver I want, which is awesome. I plan to keep a little blog here with some pictures of breads I bake. Just a fun place to keep a journal of that p
I created a delicious spelt starter at the beginning of February and made some great loaves from it recently.
