The last week - and really the last few months - have been a lot. I still have work to catch up on but today is the first weekend I have some downtime. Multiple #baking projects on the way! Starting with pumpkin bread.
#pumpkin #bread completed!
Next up, #sourdough #bread for dinner for #Reuben #sandwiches
In the meantime, I also have some #applesauce going for #latkes tomorrow. Kitchen smells pretty amazing!
#cinnamon #ginger #nutmeg #cloves #vanilla and #lemons are an amazing sensory combination
And #multigrain #sourdough #bread is out of the oven!
#Sourdough bread was happily consumed by the hungry folks. #Pumpkin bread even better this morning than yesterday - the spices have settled nicely.
@DrTomori Mmm, I especially love pumpkin bread the next morning toasted with butter!
@DrTomori First, that is beautiful. Second, do the ridges come from a heavily floured rattan bowl thingie? Third, did you use a Dutch oven or cloche?
@SinclairLewis thank you!! Yes, exactly. The ridges are just from the proving basket. I use a very inexpensive Dutch oven from Lodge. Sounds like you are also a baker! This is my most frequently baked bread from Breadtopia - very little hands on time. I am out of a lot of my flours so I just used whole wheat for all the non-AP flours. https://breadtopia.com/whole-grain-sourdough/
Traditional Whole Grain Sourdough

Inspired by the famed Poilâne miche, here's a traditional European style sourdough bread with a large percentage of whole grain flour – delicious.

@DrTomori I’ve been a baker for +40 years and have yet to keep a sourdough mother alive. I’m fine with the skill I have and just buy it when I’m in the mood.
@SinclairLewis makes sense! I just stick it into the fridge between baking. But I do have hungry people so that’s at least once a week when everyone is home.
