That batch of bread–just two loaves for this experiment–have just baked up and are cooling.

Will be interesting to sample. Features the addition of other bread ground up and incorporated into the batch.

Hmm, what if part of this batch went into another batch later? A never ending bread cycle.

My current bread batch is an interesting experiment. I had a loaf of somewhat unsuccessful #sourdough – very flavourful, but overly dense.

I was thinking about bread with nuts incorporated, and thought it'd be interesting to try a loaf with bits of old bread in it instead. It's a thing that some traditions do.

So half a loaf of sourdough was cut coarsely and soaked, then whizzed in food processor and added to flour. Will see how it bakes up.

Sourdough Focaccia

Well, sort of. At 80% hydration and after a long autolyse the dough was too slack to keep dimples; poke it and it just flowed back.

Since the price of bread rose, I started baking my own again 🍞 This is the third loaf I've made in two weeks. I slice and freeze after a few hours to extend the good flavour from one day to three #baking #breadmaking
Love the texture of this dough as it proves.

I’ve also been making Paul Hollywood’s cherry and chocolate bread today, now waiting for it to be cool enough to cut! #breadmaking #cottagecore #chocolatebread
The BEST bread I have ever made! #baking #breadmaking

On a sorti le pain maison du four et on l'a brandi devant l'objectif comme un MONUMENT de la boulangerie artisanale — croûte dorée, craquelée, grigne ouverte d'une arrogance FOLLE, mie encore tiède qui embaume tout le salon 🍞🔥 Et derrière, installé sur le canapé comme un roi déchu sur son trône marron, K9 fixe le pain avec cet air de profonde PERPLEXITÉ philosophique — oreilles tombantes, regard sombre, immobile, comme s'il essayait de comprendre pourquoi l'humanité passe trois heures à pétrir de la farine alors qu'il y a des croquettes prêtes en trente secondes. Douze ans qu'il assiste à chaque fournée sans jamais goûter une croûte, et pourtant ce soir il a l'air de quelqu'un qui prépare un DISCOURS 🐕✨

Making bread. Not my most energetic starter ramp-up (aka levain). I've been sloppy at feedings, distracted by other things.

So cheating to use a bit of commercial yeast along side, so I don't waste all flour that went into that erratically-fed levain.

A key part of #breadmaking, I've learned, is the experience to recover from hiccups along the way. I can rescue the most botched process and still get an enjoyable result. Ross's Bread Repair – I think I'll hang a sign out.

Just after 11pm here and my bread batch for the day has just completed. Left it a little late getting started, but it's come out alright.

Means fresh sourdough tomorrow for breakfast anyway.
