Dr_Bombayok, so here’s the update on this week’s Tartine sourdough bake. nicely browned, but not a ton of oven spring. i think they got a tad over-proofed in our warm kitchen. Bananas for scale, obv. #BreadPost #Baking #Sourdough
Did I mention it’s baking day? IT’S BAKING DAY! Stay tuned for sourdough pix… #BreadPost #Baking
Hey, I haven’t been posting my weekly-ish bread baking lately, sorry! Later today we’re headed to a backyard party, so I offered to bake the sourdough hamburger buns. Here’s my go-to recipe, and the result. This one is super easy, and has never failed me! #Sourdough #BreadPost #Baking

As an amateur baker who LOVES rye and pumpernickel, this is a shocking and sad story. Is pumpernickel actually an endangered species? WE MUST SAVE PUMPERNICKEL #BreadPost [Archived version, no paywall]

well, here’s my first attempt at a Multigrain Struan, per Peter Reinhart. it’s rather flat, but maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be (?). #BreadPost #Baking
FINALLY another baking day for me. Today I'm trying something new to me: It's a Multigrain Struan, from Peter Reinhart's "Whole Grain Breads." I chose to use a mix of farro and quinoa for the grains, along with the whole wheat flour that makes up the bulk of the recipe. I started the soaker and biga yesterday, and the rest is pretty easy: Today I mixed those with more flour, honey, yeast, and salt and kneaded. It's resting now before shaping. Pix to come, after baking! #BreadPost #Baking

Update: well, here they are! Old-School Deli Rye, hot out of the oven. As usual, my photo can’t quite do justice to seeing them in person. They smell incredible, drool. 🤤 #BreadPost
Baking day for me again! Today I’ve been working on a couple of Old-School Deli Rye loaves (from Stanley Ginsberg’s “The Rye Baker,” naturally). They are going through their final counter proof now, and will be done in a couple hours. I’ll post pix then, of course. #BreadPost
I forgot to mention yesterday that in lieu of my weekly sourdough bake, this week instead i made a variation of an Irish Soda Bread with sourdough discard. I don't have an Irish speck in me, but i think it came out pretty good. #Sourdough #BreadPost

Update: Well, here these beauties are! The one on the right just came out of the oven, the left one about 45 mins ago. Once again, i’m blown away by the consistent oven spring i get with this recipe, and this time i have significant blistering, too — not sure why, but i’m thrilled. #Sourdough #BreadPost #Baking #DIY
