Started baking some bread for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. Here are the first couple out of the oven.

Post a non-fife bread, I dare you!

Einkorn Bread.
 
First time using this flour, the Original grain from all others, highest in nutrition, and have to say the best Ive ever tasted, a very full flavor unique to itself, highly recommended if you get a chance to try it. has a golden flax color to the grain.
 
75% Hydration
Self ground whole berries.
Kefir whey, 1tsp ACV to hydrate and ferment.
Added yeast on the third day.
Baked 425 for 25min.
 
Lots of on youtube about it. Perfect for wheat allergies.

Emmer Flour Bread.
Another new one trying, Ancient grains great for people with wheat allergies.
 
My standard three day ferment and 75% hydration.
Great sandwich bread, neutral flavor so it does not dominate.

I often bake bagels, but haven't tried a sourdough until now. Glad I did - it didn't turn out too badly for the first attempt (certainly was tasty!):
 

 

 
Next time I'm going to try and get the wheat ear artwork to be more realistic... 

 

[dragonsfire]

Looks Great ! Congrats

First time making brioche.
 
Rolled some raisins in their, one batch I painted with Cherry Spice Jam. Fife Eggs coconut oil.
 

 

[nice.chili]

Back at it again, this time with a whiter flour sourdough:
 

 

 

 
I think the starter has really started to find its legs. Meanwhile I still haven't nailed the wheat ear cutting yet. Always the next loaf!

Poppy Seed Rosemary Biscuits
Blitzed the seeds with the brain.
 

 

 

[Wiriwiri]

Nothing beats home-made bread...oh it smells so good...love that sourdough boule.

 

[nice.chili]

Today some black olive sourdough. This one is very tasty - it's not going to last long... (and I got a good ear on this one.)
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Nice, made olive bread before and it was great.
Making Seed bread right now.

 

[nice.chili]

There are some great piment (chili/hot) olives available here in Nice. I'm definitely going to try them next time around - they should make an awesome loaf.
(Today was a bit of an accident in that I found a packet of olives in the fridge that needed using and thought "why not?")
 
I was also looking at different grains/flours in the local organic supermarket - some interesting options. So far I've just been getting my eye in for consistency. Do you have any favourites?
