Couple of SD loaves.

[Redicans]

Got my starter back up and going a while ago after being dormant in my fridge for way too long. Took about a week but is strong again. Been making some nice bread and thought I would finally post a couple.

My daughter wanted to try an olive loaf so we tried that on one and the other was just plain. A lesson I learned is I should have dried off the Kalamata olives a bit before I folded them in but it still came out good. Took a while for the dough to absorb some of that moisture as I stretched and folded before the olives wanted to stay put in the dough. Daughter was very happy with it and that is all that matters. The plain one was really good even thought it was a bit dense. Still learning about proper hydration.

My starter is doing good. Just trying to find time to actually make a loaf is killing me! But you failed on your bread....I dont see a pic one to drool over. Especially that olive loaf!

I don't know why my pics were not loading. I think I got it worked out though.

I love looking at these bread threads. I watch my carbs (kinda sorta) and this stuff kills me.

I hear you as I am doing the same. I can only eat a little bit. Hard for me not to just say screw it and devour a whole loaf.

Oh you did alright! Looks mighty good.

I really enjoy the creativity of all you bread makers, and probably don't comment enough. To the carbs, I just made a box of jiffy corn muffin mix and wow, I read the box and almost called 911 over the carb content. Never mind the handful of shredded cheese I added.

Man ,,, those are both fantastic . Really nice loaves . I'm taking a break , but I did send one with my Daughter for her friends Mom. Guess who wants more bread .

I should have dried off the Kalamata olives a bit

That or dust them with whatever flour you're using .

Still learning about proper hydration.

I'm running at 75% , but it depends on what flour I use .
Glad you posted those , they look great .

Good looking SD Sean! My poor starter is also neglected. I getting ready to make that Peasant Bread I made few weeks back this morning. I thought it was almost as good as my SD and so much easier. Guess I will find out if I can pull it off again.

Thanks Brian, yeah my Starter was in bad shape but surprised me at how fast and strong it came back.
