I did not follow a recipe.Since we were expecting rain in So Cal today, I wanted to do something a little extra for the kids today.The house smells strongly like Fall scented candles.#bread #cooking #pumpkin #sourdough

Today's sourdough from scratch adventure is another one made with honey and olive oil but this time, I made it with a mix of honey and olive oil brushed on the outside just before going into the oven and it gave it a glazed effect while still having decent oven spring.#cooking #bread #sourdough

I'm back on my #sourdough #bread baking shenanigans. For this one, I added both olive oil and honey to the dough.#cooking

I've been playing with hydration, adding olive oil, whole wheat vs bread flour ratios, how much to feed starter, and keeping it covered vs uncovered longer. The bread got softer when I added olive oil and raised hydration but oven spring suffered. Backing off hydration a bit and feeding at a 1:2:2 or 1:3:3 brought back the oven spring.#bread #cooking #sourdough

This was a bread week. Here's two highlights. Both sourdough, but one was in the fridge for a week (the very bubbly one) and the other was one day but with olive oil, rosemary, and sage. Both smelled like glory. I wasn't expecting olive oil to make the bread softer, but that one ended up very soft.#bread #cooking #sourdough
