Yesterday's Bake

Toast

Baked two loaves yesterday one made with harvest grains from KA and one using a mix of fresh starter and cold unrefreshed starter. Both are 100% starters but I mixed the two to see what it would do the the flavor profile.

Here is how the two loaves looked after the first forming.

The harvest grain loaf has a great flavor and texture.

The second loaf we are having with a pasta dinner tonight.

Thank you Darwin, that really kind of you!

We cut into the second loaf this evening and I was happy with the crumb. I didn't notice much change in the flavor from using the cold starter but the crumb had a lot of holes.
