Finally got a good bake on this one after numerous variations. It starts as a biga using about 40% of the total flour (KA bread flour). The final dough is a mix of bread flour, spelt, and Bob’s Red Mill gluten flour to counter the spelt tendency to flow

It’s great as toast or with PB&J

I’m very excited to be back at WildCare for my volunteer training today

I was very active here 15 years ago, eventually becoming a shift supervisor but a move across the bay and other life stuff made it impossible to continue

It’s great seeing some familiar faces after all these years!

⚒️🧪 Looks like the Mendocino Triple Junction at it again!
At this spot, three tectonic plates come together, and since they're all moving in different directions and at different speeds, there's a lot of activity. This area has M6+ earthquakes more often than anywhere else in California.

Getting ready to bake a Pan Gallego de Centeno (Galician Rye Bread)

This is from The Rye Baker by Stanley Ginsberg, a must have book for rye fans. It’s an 85% hydration rye dough so really hard to wrangle. Like shaping glue

I’ve done this twice successfully and one spectacular failure

🤞🤞

I finally had time for bread baking today. I went for a family favorite, Harvest Grain Bread

I like to bake this in an uncovered Pullman pan as slices from the taller loaf are a better fit for our toaster

A strong, prolonged, very moist, and relatively warm #AtmosphericRiver event, in conjunction with rapidly-strengthening #BombCyclone (yes, that's the term!), will bring major rain (and, locally, wind) impacts to OR/NorCal this week. Flooding is likely. #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater [1/6]

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
