After the past couple months of baking furiously, I can feel my interest waning, since I basically did what I set out to do.

Problem is, I was just given 50lbs of flour that I had previously asked for, so i gotta buckle down and keep at it. Oh, my partner has also been spreading the love around, and while people don't EXPECT bread, they do very eagerly anticipate it.

As usual, recipe is the tartine country loaf, this was part of a 2× batch. Instead of 200g whole wheat I did 100g whole wheat and 100g wheat germ. Tastes quite mild, overall a good batch

Not op but any tips for freezing well?

    Basically, fully cool and maybe even hours longer to ensure less moisture.

    Thaw slowly, then 5 minutes in the oven to revive the crust.

    Thanks! I was thinking to slightly underbake the bread so I could give it another 10’ or so when re-baking. But this already sounds very good.

    Happy i just got a extra freezer. Next time tripple batch :)

    Happy to help!

    I've also read you can do a first rise with dough with twice the yeast, and I think freeze it then, and then do the second rise and and bake. But I'm not sure how that might work with sourdough.
