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

Embarking on a fairly complex bread. Two starters, refreshed at the same time 10 hours ago, and the rye on the right has tripled while the wheat on the left has barely doubled. Same hydration.

Read it and weep (tears of joy). Bonnie Ohara of Alchemy Bread tells some of the story of her home-baking operation and how she has helped to create and nourish her local community. http://www.alchemybread.com/blog/2018/1/8/a60p0pdh15xudsrj7wu0qar0s8ix82

Vatican says bread for Eucharist cannot be gluten-free

1 min read

Marion Nestle summarises the status of gluten-free hosts and usefully links to the Vatican's circular on the matter. I actually went to look, wondering whether, maybe, there's some reason why the host cannot be gluten free. And there is, up to a point.

The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat ...

But that's not really a reason, is it. It's just a historical tradition. Obey, or else.

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.
