Soft sandwich loaf

Profile picture for user HeiHei29er

My wife asked if I could make a soft sandwich bread for this weekend, so I did another round of my Pullman pan test loaf.  Just increased the size of the loaf.

For the levain, I used a combination of Raisin Yeast Water and little bit of mother starter in the build.  So...  I guess we'll call it a sour poolish.  :-)

After enjoying a few days away, I’m glad to be home and do some baking. This one has been on my list for a while – 100% spelt, based on this recipe. I think I’m finally starting to see progress in my ability to apply the various things I have learned over the last 6 months.

Tweaks I made:

SD discard hot cross buns

My stiff starter Etno (50% hydration) got a refresh today after being chilled for over a week so I mixed its discard with ingredients for hot cross buns. I figured I’ll just jot down the weights as I mixed them. The dough was rather sticky but manageable. Think I should reduce a lil bit of milk the next time I make these.

Going to a lunch time gathering tomorrow and i am making a 44.4% Wholemeal Potato Rosemary and Cheese loaf. It was going to be a Sour Dough version but my starter has been sluggish recuperating from its slumber in the freezer. It will recover just may need a few feeds to gain its vigor. So a conventional bulk fermented fresh yeast dough it is.

So here is what I am considering the "final" version of my Sourdough.  This was my first attempt at really creating something of my own and not relying totally on someone else's formula.
