Not bread, but a tomato tart, which I look forward to during peak tomato season. As an aside, my wife and I rode in Bike the Drive yesterday in Chicago. We did the southern leg to the museum campus in Hyde Park. No mishaps, muggings or shots fired. Just a gorgeous day with other nice people.

With all of the craziness going on, as if we are in a chapter of The Man in The High Castle, a little discard focaccia to cleanse the pallet.

Been awhile baking straight sourdough. Made Greg Wade's millet Porridge and cherry loaves. With the hydration it is almost 550gms of Porridge.

If you post blue ribbons, you have to post the clunkers. Paul Hollywood Guiness treacle loaf. Stayed very sticky on me. Poured it in loaf pan to salvage, but had some clinging to the pan, plus I think I overproofed.

I haven't baked recently due to travels, but I did finally get to visit The Hudson Oven in Croton-on Hudson. Great food and bread. Cool marketing strategy, a good follow on Insta.

Revisted Amy bakes bread discard recipe. Uses 330gms of discard, so I'm all out now. Fluffy crumb. Discard was a mix of bread flour and whole wheat flour.

Recent bake, Greg Wade's apple and peanut bread. I only use Janies Mill bread flour with his recipes due to high hydration. That is a dent in the 2nd loaf. Hit the the cover during expansion.
