brioche dough

Toast

Does anyone know of a brioche dough--middle class variety--made with a pate fermente? I'm sorry if this isn't the correct protocol. I imagine there is...it makes great sense. I just need specifics being a complete novice myself. Thanks in advance. Joshua Murphy

The perfect ferment

I made a big batch (9) of the Scape & Asiago Levain today - a sourdough with roasted garlic scapes and Asiago cheese. My starter has been a little slow lately, and I also had to add two loaves worth of starter to the batch quite late (a late order), so some of the starter was not at all ripe (smelled like wet flour and had little gas).

Summer Day

Toast

The incredibly hot and humid weather has not deterred me from a hot oven. And for some reason a stressful week becomes less stressful when I have bakes planned intermittently. 

Oat spelt sourdough + white SD

 Hello friends! 

This weekend, I tried to make my toasted oat SD using spelt instead of whole wheat, I’ve never used spelt before, so I don’t really know what the rules are. All I know is what I’ve read here, so feel free to give your feedback. 

Darjeeling Tea Chocolate Orange Sourdough

Toast

There were plenty of chocolate sourdough posts recently. I was a bit hesitant in baking my own because, you know, the idea of chocolate bread is just a bit…boring… Cherries, raisins, cranberries, hazelnuts, coffee and not much else. It’s also conventional to pair chocolate with rye or spelt flour. Really, there’s not much creativity to speak of.

Spelt Ricotta Cheese Sourdough Rolls

Toast

Hi There,

I am glad to share with you my latest baking experience.

I have tried to revise a bread recipe from my own country, Sardinia. In particular the Ricotta Cheese Rolls. Spelt is not so popular in Sardinia but I fell in love with this flour hence could not resist to try to make my Spelt Ricotta Cheese Sourdough Rolls :)

    I finally had a chance to use the blue pea flowers I bought a month or so ago after seeing several people on the Facebook bread groups as well as here recently post their versions.  Naturally I had to try and put my own spin on it.
