Sourdough Bread

Are there any sourdough lovers out there I'd love to see your creations.

Made this one yesterday. Sourdough bread, 80% hydration, Kamut, whole wheat and bread flour. Added bagel seasoning on the crust.

I like yours better    That looks really, really good.  Can you post your recipe?  I'm a complete piker but I want to try something a little more challenging that white bread.

That is one beautiful loaf of bread!

You'll need a sourdough starter. If you want to use instant yeast I guess you can use 1/2 tsp.
Make a levain of 1:2:2   (15gr starter + 32 gr water + 32 gr flour)
306gr bread flour
44 gr kamut flour
40 gr whole wheat flour
303 gr water
79gr levain
9gr salt.

Do your standard autolyse, stretch/fold, proofing,...

Towards the end you can roll your dough into the all bagel seasoning or not.

When are you coming over? ?

Looks good!, I’ve been thinking about making a sourdough loaf.
I was making no-knead bread for a while, but I’ve been so busy lately that I let it go. I thought I’d start again, with all the weirdness going on, and my yeast expired in 2018.
I’ve checked local stores several time, but it seems that yeast has gone the way of TP. I even stopped by Whole Foods yesterday and asked a baker if I could have a bit of their sourdough starter, but was turned down. Keep that sourdough going.

Great looking crust on your loaf. Do you bake in a Dutch oven?

The same issue was talked about on a bread forum I follow with yeast being sold out everywhere. That's mean about not giving you some sourdough starter. Don't lose time and start making your own. In about 7 days you can start baking bread.

No, I use a bread cloche. Same concept, only much easier to handle and not as heavy.

 

I did manage to get an order with yeast in at King Arthur last Monday. It hasn’t shipped yet, they must be slammed.
I think I saw that same cloche in stock at their site. I’ll consider picking one up if I keep baking. I’ve been using a cheap Dutch oven that’s discolored from the high heat. It is clumsy and a bit too small.
