Hi Leif, Well your loaves look better than mine! I'm just a dabbler in this, but I'll say a couple of things: the choice of yeast might not have anything to do with it unless it's too old. I only specified the non-instant type because I don't use the non-instant type. More like "if you want to sta

My recipe is 500ml warm water in which I dissolve a packet of dried yeast, add a small amount of salt, and then 250g rye flour, 250g spelt or hard wholemeal flour, 50g of rolled oats, 25g each of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, and caraway seeds, a tablespoon of honey

Bicycles and bread. Well, I baked a loaf of bread this morning - 50/50 wholemeal and rye - and then went for a bike ride. And towards the end of the ride I stopped at a bulk grocery and bought a couple more kilos of rye flour so I can keep baking. -- You received this message because you are s

Here's my take on the same recipe that lambbo posted. I've been making it for many, many years and I don't make any other bread. This makes a BETTER loaf than Antone's (just kidding, really). It doesn't involve a blender. It does involve a dutch oven. I put a medium-sized mixing bowl on a scale, t

Leah, I’d attempted baking bread a few years ago, which resulted in several ruined kitchen towels and dough-based rocks. So, I had decided that I’m not a baker, and that was that. Until your post many weeks ago — it inspired me to try baking bread again. A dozen loaves and close to a hundred

Gah, Philip, we’d be 400 pounds and diabetic if we did that. I do not know how the settlers brought their starter along, but I know they slept with it at night to keep it warm. There’s a guy somewhere in the PNW who died many years ago, but his starter lives on. He used to have a mail-order star

That’s awesome! Shame the school can’t provide a vegetarian cheese sandwich or something on Hamburger Day. How often do you bake bread? It looks from the recipe like the starter rhythm could work without discarding any if you baked twice a day? Or no? I’m not suggesting we SHOULD, just imagini
