Playing with sourdough

Re: Playing with sourdough

Wow, those are way springier that mine! How did they taste? They look really yummy. And I love that star shaped slash pattern.

Frances,
We ate the star loaf last night with a slow cooked beef stew -- it all felt very authentic -- and our 10 year old (bless her), said, "Dad, this tastes just like that bakery in Paris."

I'm not making this up. That's pretty cool. My multi-grain sourdough is proofing now. I gave it a 12-hour build, and mixed the dough last night. It had 12 hours in the kitchen (pretty cold) overnight and it has a lot of lift. The build seems to have worked.

Fun, fun.

They look great!

Yea, try to cut the proofing time down so you don't go over. The good thing about proofing in the refrigerator is that its hard to go over. That way you can leave the loaves in there until the oven gets to the correct temperature.
