Started baking some bread for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. Here are the first couple out of the oven.
I'm converting mine each feeding now with rye and whole wheat. I've been using Bobs Red Mill Flours.grantmichaels said:My starter is organic dark rye flour!

Are you mixing,making and kneading your bread by hand or with a mixer ? I've always done it by hand but the last 3 times I have used my wife's Kitchen Aid and I'm getting spoiled lol.grantmichaels said:
My starter is on 100% Bob's organic dark rye ...

Does not take long to burn through it when one uses it regularly.

SavinaRed said:Baking a sourdough loaf today and a 2/3 whole wheat sourdough loaf tomorrow. I just mixed up the whole wheat loaf and will let it sit until tomorrow afternoon when I will bake it.
Edit: instead of the usual baking bread in my C.I. Dutch Oven I'm trying it today on my pizza baking stone to see if I like it that way.

Blender and juicer, two gadgets I haven't purchased yet!
yesterdays loaf I left uncovered and the results were ok. Today I will cover it for the first 20 minutes with a C.I. Dutch Oven. I do not have a SS bowl lol. I might have to go buy one today haha.tctenten said:
Sorry I missed this yesterday, but I do all my loaves on the pizza stone. Will you be covering with a stainless steel bowl? I like the results with that even better.
Yup that is what I do. Good luck.SavinaRed said:yesterdays loaf I left uncovered and the results were ok. Today I will cover it for the first 20 minutes with a C.I. Dutch Oven. I do not have a SS bowl lol. I might have to go buy one today haha.
