How to make sourdough bread...

[Clawbear57]

It looks good but I never heard of seeded bread.

Very well done Scott.

Most recent seeded loaf. Added some extra honey and some extra sunflower seeds. Tasted even better than the first! I will add pumpkin seeds next time, but I need to go buy them first!

I do have it, but not sure if I had or someone else had, the small bits I read, I’m certain it is a good book and look forward to reading it all. It was likely his book that helped me solidify my wants for going with the lessons learned, as I felt aligned with what he was saying. So I’m still approaching all of my main bread experiments blindly though, so no books or links for me to cheat myself out of the lesson, 😂 So it is the slow process for me still. Lol very slow…

SheilaAnn - very good book. Not for beginners but lots of info. I was just re-reading some of it the other day as the loaf I made was OK but not quite as even and open as I'd like.

Just Beautiful!

[SheilaAnn]

rickgregory yes, 2nd edition.

SheilaAnn - you mean Open Crumb Mastery by Trevor Wilson? Or is this another book?

[SheilaAnn]

Richard Chrz did you turn me onto Open Crumb? If not, I highly recommend it. It does a lot of explaining. And while reading this (I’m 2/3rds through), I mentally kept comparing the information to your bakes.

There's a lot of good posts on baguettes on The Fresh Loaf including https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/32...ough-baguettes and https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/19...know-one-bread

Inspection on the baguettes. Although I am happy taste and texture, I have so much room for improvement on this bake. One of these days I am going to understand the key to consistency in this bake.

edited to add, for me, my hunt is in the scoring, but my shaping and proofing to the sizes I’ve worked with have been way too everywhere on the dart board. I’ve learned some cheats, but I know they are hacks, not the actual knowledge,

Once again into the breach...

Wonderful outcome...

[Richard Chrz]

Thank you.

Once again an awesome job.

Garlic Romano loaves. 2 as baguettes, and my favorite, the Fougasse. I have not cut the baguettes yet.
