Having a little focaccia fun, playing the dough. One of my favorite sourdough foods, and favorite songs. Pretty sure I could make one of these every day for the next week and not tire of it. #sourdough #baking #focaccia #queensofthestoneage 4K 76
Nice and even interior on the loaves the other day with a bit more dough development. Flavor, texture, and color were fantastic(and I know, a crumb shot has a hard time of capturing most of that), especially with the whole spelt and type 85 mixed in. No discernible negative effects from the longer mechanical mixing (4-5 mins speed 2 at the end) here, and it meant an easier to handle dough. I still believe it’s easy to go too far with a mixer, but perhaps it’s farther than I’ve previously thought. I think the key is always to find a good balance, and also to remember the focus is always on sufficient fermentation. Now it’s time to enjoy a few more slices 🙂 #sourdough #bread #baking 3K 57
From bubbly dough to finished loaves. 4x900g, a mix of whole spelt, type85, and 11% protein white. Been working on dough strength lately, trying to see what effect a little longer mix (these were mixed about 5 mins speed 2) has on these larger batches. Improved structure for sure, and certainly much easier to handle at shape time. More uniformity is certainly a good thing, but does it effect flavor in any noticeable way? We’ll see. #sourdough #baking #bread 5K 53
My recipe for a quick and easy sourdough schiacciata is up over at @food52’s website! Similar to focaccia, but a little thinner, crunchier, and maybe even better for summer sandwiches? I think so! Happy Sunday, everyone ☀️ #sourdough #baking #f52community 9K 113
I’ve been baking such a wide variety of things here lately it’s nice to slip back into this staple: a mix of medium protein white, type 85, and whole wheat. Made four loaves, one to a friend, one to family, and two for us ⚡️ I definitely see saving a few slices for French toast this weekend, and tomatoes alllllmost ripe in the garden, bruschetta definitely incoming. #sourdough #baking #bread 5K 70
For my latest post at @food52, my weekend staple: sourdough waffles. I make a version of these every weekend, freezing any extras, or doubling the batch, to quickly reheat during the next week when time is short. Easy as can be — if you have a starter most of the work is already done for you 🙂 My recipe is up over at their site — happy Sunday! #sourdough #waffles #weekend 4K 64

Fresh Milled Whole Wheat Walnut Sourdough

fresh milled whole wheat walnut sourdough

Wintertime for me means soup, soup, and more soup. But wait! It also means walnuts. “You silly, walnuts aren’t in season right now”, I hear you say. Well, that’s true, but I say hey why not use those bagged, shelled walnuts from the market or if necessary, order a sack online? When it comes to walnuts I don’t need much convincing, just a slight nudge or the faintest craving. And so yes, I made fresh milled whole wheat walnut sourdough with roasted walnut oil. I also made soup, but I think you’re here for the bread.
