Back To The Sourdough

[BGKYSmoker]

Got a mix going tonight. Usings the Clever Carrot SD recipe. Got 10 lbs of KA high gluten flour yesterday so lets see how this turns out. I thought the price of meat would be a tad cheaper here than it was in Naples......Not by much so my sausage making is on the back burner for while until i can get on post to the commissary and check prices.

All mixed and now 1 hour for autolyse (resting after mixing) covered.
Not purdy yet.

Looks better now, just shaped into a ball. Cover and let it rise some before stretch & fold..........BBL

I keep my starter active, i have 3 diff starters that are 6 months old. Each has their own flavor.

I only bake once a month and can bring my dried starter to ready to bake in less than 2 days. PM me if interested.

Shape and second rise in the banneton, covered for an hour.
Side showing will be the bottom of loaf.

 

[sandyut]

yes! I am back on baking more that its cooling off here. cant wait to see the final product

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Its SD bread time.

20 min bake with lid on.

Remove lid off dutch and bake for 40 mins at 400*

30 mins, remove bread from dutch and place on rack for the last 10 mins.

Now cool on a wire rack.

Your right Rick, if you make your own bread it doesn’t cost that much. Judy grows our own broccoli, mung bean, and radish sprouts. I eat them for lunch every day, & I put them in her homemade pita bread. We’re ready for the apocalypse.

[BGKYSmoker]

Good to be prepared. In the spring we are going to garden so we can do some canning. Got a place for chickens and maybe a goat, folks down the rd have a couple cows and pigs, dont know if i wanna get a cow yet.
