purple pecan pain
the color comes entirely from the tannins in the pecan skins, which turns purple in the presence of trace amounts of iron in the flour

I can't complain about being snowed in when the house smells like fresh baked bread.

Pretty happy with these. First time trying cinnamon sugar in my usual sourdough loaf and it's looking pretty nice!

Since there have been a few skeptics regarding the suitability of some AP flours for bread, I made a chart of common US supermarket brand flours and their protein contents. I consider the cutoff for minimum protein content to make decent bread to be ~11.5%.
![A histogram chart of the protein content of common supermarket flours in the US.
The y-axis lists the flours and their reported protein contents:
Gold Medal AP (10.5%)
Pillsbury Best AP (10-11.5%)
Bob's Red Mill / Arrowhead AP (10-12%)
Heckers & Ceresota AP (11.5-11.9%)
King Arthur AP (Sir Galahad] / Kirkland AP (11.7%)
Gold Medal Better For Bread (12%)
King Arthur bread [Special Patent] (12.7%)
Pillsbury Best Bread (12.9%)
Bob's Red Mill Artisan Bread (12.5-13.5%)
Arrowhead Mills Bread (10-15%)*
King Arthur High-Gluten [Sir Lancelot] (14.2%)
*Arrowhead Mills does not give more specific details on protein content, alas](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jhagtrs33szvqlj34q7wyi3h/bafkreih4smazynjpn5lpd3phkx44f2f2ebcfng4ttnyjjbjlhluis4gmnu@jpeg)

This sat in the proofer for an extra hour and a half but still came out pretty nice.
Sourdough is much more forgiving than people would have you believe. #sourdough #bread #homebaker
