Dreamy conclusion of the dreamy Palanga rye from @theryebaker after a dreamy session at the hot baths. No filter but the steam. Link to full story in my bio. #rye

When all’s said and done, there is something deeply satisfying about a simple loaf. This is 10% each of whole rye, whole wheat and einkorn, at an easy 70% hydration.

Stiff leaven, raring to go.

100% wholemeal coming together. Just three ingredients: flour, water, salt. Oh, and squillions of my microbe friends.

Always nice after a trip to prove that your starter is alive and well. This one is going to leaven a multigrain 50% wholewheat.

Sometimes a chap just needs to make an almost plain (5% rye) loaf.

That wholemeal with a multigrain soaker never fails to please.

After a few blissful, cool, occasionally wet days with @nicolakidsbooks the most urgent need was a blazing I've and some 60% wholewheat sourdough at 80% hydration.

Apparently it is Real Bread Week. For me, that's no different from every other week. But to celebrate I embarked, last night, on a repeat of "that dark sour bread" I first tried about a year ago. This time, the whole rye berries are, I hope, softening a bit in the Thermos. It's a long process, and there probably won't be too much to see for at least another 24 hours, maybe 36. Still within the week though.

Replied to a post on jewishjournal.com :

As I don't feed my sourdough daily, or take it for walks, or keep kosher much of what Rob Eshman says he learned about his sourdough contemplating Passover does not apply. But it makes for an interesting read nevertheless.

#igbreadclub seems to have gone dormant, so here's my wholewheat with multigrain soaker with preferment. Not too shabby.

A second go at olive levain for this time with fabulous taggiasca olives and a cold retard. The result was much tastier than the first version, which is probable the olives, not the longer rise.
