This has been quite a humbling experience! I'm not used to failing at things!! completely changing the way i bake has brought many many epic FAILS!!! I'm a 'go by feel' kind of a cook, and am pretty damn good i think. Yet the unpredictability of working with 'real' flour and live cultures gives variability between batches that i am not used to, and even when i write things down step by step, its sometimes hard to repeat. But i shall press on, making my rookie mistakes, and eating some less than perfect loaves of bread etc....at least i know a dodgy home bake, is still a zillion times better than store bought.
As you can probably tell, i was a little disappointed in yesterdays bake-off! and i wanted to learn how to post photo's to my blog today, hoping to have something spectacular to show! BUT..... we ate the rye crackers, i overcooked the honey wheat bread and the soaked spelt biscuits were not great. will go back to trail #2 recipe i think. Anyhow the surprise of the show was the rye bread, i was expecting a big fat sour brick. instead, i got this! Not the greatest of pictures, and i forgot to glaze it, but oh well it was good!!
