Sourdough Bread

Just ordered a EH Bread Cloche this morning, can’t wait to try my hand at Bread making!

I would love to see your progress and any questions, don't hesitate to ask. It's not rocket science and easier than putting out a fire 

My yeast should be in today or tomorrow. I’m going to try a sourdough loaf soon, but the first batch will be a simple no-knead bread. I’d recommend it to those new to bread making, it’s super easy and tasty. I sent this vid to my sister, who is planning to make her first loaf:

Video works for me    This looks interesting.  Also, don't be afraid of kneading bread dough - its actually quite a relaxing activity.

Haha, Thank You Max! I appreciate the help, as well as your undeserved confidence  !

Today I made another 80% hydration sourdough but used Einkorn, Kamut and bread flour. All organic.

Today's Einkorn sourdough fresh from the oven.

That looks Amazing! My Cloche is headed my way, can’t wait to give this a try!

87% Hydration Sourdough

+++ Fresh from the oven. Sesame seed sourdough. 85% hydration. +++

My Sourdough Starter is started! I had a heck of a time getting my hands on Flour, but finally got a hold of some. I also can’t find any Yeast, but if I can get a healthy Starter going I won’t need it. I used Organic Whole Wheat Flour for the first day because supposedly whole grains contain more nutrients and sourdough-friendly microorganisms than All Purpose Flour. From what I’ve read, Unbleached All Purpose Flour will be just fine for subsequent feedings. Hopefully in a week or so I’ll be ready to go. I’ve been looking up recipes that use the discard, and there seem to be quite a few, so no worries about it going to waste. We’ll see if I can make something halfway edible, it sounds like Sourdough making is as much Art as it is Skill. I’m not Artistic and I don’t have many Skills, so we’ll see.
