Continuing this trend to satisfy varying tastes in the household. I've got consistency. Now need to try some more variations.

One Dough Three Loaves
Two sourdough loaves baked in a pot and one baked in a tin. 1200 grams of flour. Divided by eye. I think I got the proportions right. Good rise. Shaping on the bread pan loaf should have been better.

I shaped these loaves differently and it's so clear in the results. But my over fermentation issue is fixed. Minimal starter in the Leaven did the trick.

Back to boules and no over fermenting
Overfermented last week so I paid a bit more attention this time.

I over-fermented my sourdough today.
Temperatures rose this week and my dough rose way faster than expected. (A disappointing bake but still tastes good) So, I also took aim at making focaccia. My first attempt was in time for dinner the same day.

Got some good bolted flour again; so I stopped baking freshly milled whole grain flour in tins. It is more satisfying to get a good rise in this shape.

These wholegrain loaves broke open on the side in spite of 5 slashes on top. Still haven't purchased more flour; so I used what I had. 70% freshly ground red winter wheat and 30% commercial white bread flour.

Ran out of some flour but good things still happened.
Didn't have enough bolted hard wheat to make two loaves. So I made one loaf with 500g of flour along with more freshly ground Einkorn. Got great rise after bulk ferment and then in the frige. Turned out pretty well.

I forgot the Flax seeds! But it's all good. Putting the boiling kettle in the oven with the dough during bulk fermentation worked surprisingly well. #breadsky #sourdough

A little overdone but still within the borders of scceptable. I am happy with the rise. Last week I used 80% hard red wheat and 20% Kamut flour but did not like the taste. So I switched from Kamut back to freshly milled Einkorn. Used the Kamut to make chocolate almond biscotti.

Usually when I bake two loaves I get a good ear on the first loaf; but not on the second for reasons unknown. This time, it worked out. #breadsky #sourdough

Almost threw away this whole grain dough because I didn't think my leaven was strong enough. The weather turned cold and it rose slowly. But I gave it a chance. It appears to have turned out fine.
