Bread - What are you baking today…..

[Giles]

My dough is not rising, looked at the sell-by date on the bottom of the tin of yeast, 2016  :-[.  Whoops…...

So I've ordered some more.

In the meantime, I'm starting a Levain....

Got bored of waiting for my Levain to be ready, though I think it has started to create gas now  :), so I'm making Pitta, which requires no yeast or Levain…..Here's the dough which I will rest for a couple of hours...

[Giles]

Won't be winning any prizes for these, but I'm hoping they taste OK….

[Giles]

Whilst I wait for my Levain to mature, knocked up a couple of less involved loaves….

[Seul]

That bread looks outlandishly delicious…

[ROman]

The bread did look delicious.

[Giles]

Getting better…..

Flour water and salt. That’s all You need…...
That and a clear schedule. My starter died. I could cry.

Looks like a helluva crust on that loaf, Giles.

Out of curiosity, what do you do with all of the bread? Surely you and Paula aren't eating it all by yourselves, are you?

[Giles]

Gave Alex and Kira a loaf, gave the people over the green who are self-isolating a loaf.  Two more being made as I type.  I'll be able to find people to take it off my hands….

Wish I were your neighbor! Avocado season is in full swing here and every time I see these loaves I picture and can almost taste them this way

Keep it up!

My 50% rye and 50% white worked out OK…..

Pizza dough on the left and bread dough on the right…..
