Today's bake: Smoky Chili Bread

Source: Sourdough Recipes for Rustic Fermented Breads Sweets, Savories, and More - Sarah Owens

Note(s):Increased TD from 1.46kg to 2.0kg

This bread is made from a 3 types of flour as can be seen in the formula.

One loaf is baked in a Challenger bread pan (left) which produced a really crispy crust, another on a baking steel (right) with a steam pan which produces a less crunchy crust.

This is my 1st attempt making this bread and will definitely will be baking it again.

Changes/Recommendations - Increase the % of chili powder.

Tasting Notes

Crumb: Sweet/Dairy - Milk - the whole wheat and rye four add a nice undertone of nuttiness.

Crust: Resinous - Aged Balsamic Vinegar

Grain Character: Moderate - Cooked Oatmeal

This is a really nice medium density bread which I will be making again.

Recipe and Process are below for those that are interested.
