Wow is it ever grat to have a strong active sweet levain again! I have been feeding daily to help develop character and depth and also baking daily. I built a 1:1:1 levain with bread flour and 95F water as per Forkish and it doubled in three hours. for this bake, I used my sweet levain pulla dough and the chololate filling from ITJB and slivered almonds. YUMMM!!!

I gifted some of this and this morning's boule to my neighbours as a Mother's day treat. I have some happy neighbours!

Happy baking folks! Brian

Thanks to dab, David, Eli, Russian Baker and Paul!!! Now that ski season is done, I find myself with a healthy levain and now  YW starter. After a winter of little baking, I am again loving the process and results!!! Happy baking friends! Ski
