Beautiful, blooming boules and chocolate!

Profile picture for user Skibum

Well I thought I got the seams well sealed and the skin taught and did. Still, this is the most dramatic seam explosion I have ever had on this Forkish style loaf. I scored a classic cross, just to be safe.  This loaf has such a complicated bloom, I am unsure where to make the first cut!

What is better than a beautiful blooming boule? A blooming boule and the BEST chocolate mouse I have ever made, from the best recipe I have ever found!!!

Served with fresh raspberries, raspberry whipped cream and grated chocolate. I used this recipe, have made this three times and it is the BOMB!

Enjoy and happy baking, Ski!

bake you have there. My mouth is salivating...... : ) 

I have made lots of Forkish style boules that have bloomed well, then last spring the seams stopped opening. Nice to have them opening again.

The mousse is quite indulgent, easy to make and has zero calories . . . It says to use semi sweet chocolate, so I used half 85% cacao Lindt chocolate for half and chipits for the balance. Heaven!!!

Happy baking, Ski

back on TFL - and with some mouse.  Well,  I donlt think tht Lucy will b happy until she sees some smoked moose ribs though :-)

Well done and happy baking 

The closest I could come was the chocolate mousse and I think both you and Lucy would like it. I am not even sure moose ribs would fit into my MES, but Applewood smoked pork ribs and brined chicken fit just fine.

Happy baking, Ski

. . . it just made a mess of my keyboard. ;-) Hey have you tried the pulla yet? I am on a self imposed baking ban as I have discovered many frozen baked things I cannot identify anymore, save for a couple of Norm's onion buns and it is time for a batch of these!

Happy baking, Ski

So which Forkish recipe did you make? The loaf looks terrific.

-Caryn

zit was his Overnight Country Blonde which is in the top 5 of my baking rotation.

Happy baking! Ski

Ski- Thank you for the info. I have enjoyed Forkish's 75%  whole wheat bread and his pizza dough. I will have to try some of his other formulas.
