[sandyut]

This smells pretty good! cant wait to try...have to wait till tomorrow. Made for the kids coming over for dinner.
I added 85 g of sun dried tomatoes, the dry Julianne ones lightly chopped. and 70 g cubed parm to my regular recipe. I'll post sliced pics ASAP.

My pleasure David, man I was really into the S.D pizza thing back then.
I lost my recipe book and pizza notes when we moved. I actually think my wife tossed them by mistake. It kinda took the wind out of my sails losing a recipe I worked so hard on, it took almost a full yr to nail my perfect for me dough recipe, I really need to get back into it. And I still suck at making bread, although I haven't put the effort into perfecting it like I did with my pizza dough recipe.
My sour dough blueberry waffles are a big hit though.

I lost my last batch of starter, for some reason it molded over, I still have plenty of my rescue starter in the freezer, I really need to get it going again, before summer. I can't stand baking when it's hot. LOL!!!

I'm glad you're taking it way further than I ever did with your bread, I may need a few pointers when I get started.

Take care.
Dan.

I hear ya. moving is rough, as is summer heat. where we are now doesnt get as hot in the summer and no one has AC - nor do we. but its only a month or two where I dont like to use the oven. Many thanks Dan!

oh man, I wanted to cut into it so bad last night!!! I'll be sure to snap a pic of it sliced. many thanks!

Man that looks great Dave!

thank you my friend! SD has become a bit of an obsession

 

[Astralogics]

My mouth is watering thinking about a future sliced pic. I just know the crumb is gonna be amazing and airy!

 

[chopsaw]

Somebody send that man a bread knife !

 

[sandyut]

As you will understand, It was good, But I think it can be improved a touch. good first try though for sure. You be the judge:

 

[Astralogics]

That's a dang good first attempt! You're only gonna keep getting better from here out.

 

[chopsaw]

It looks great from here .

good first try though for sure.

First try with the tomatoes and parm ? I know that's not your first bread .

I think it can be improved a touch.

Again , I think it looks great . I don't see anything that says it needs work .
I did a asiago rosemary that had big hunks of cheese that melted and left holes .
Looks like maybe you had some of that too ? Not really an issue , just a tweak for next time ?

I was wondering if you scored before baking ? I went back and looked at some of your other bakes ( all fantastic BTW ) and looks like maybe sometimes you do , but some you don't .

Just wondering .

far from my first SD, first with sundried. I would add more next time. the pard chunks were about the right size - about 1/4" or a touch bigger. I always score the top, this loaf had more smaller cuts and was less dramatic looking.

Thank you for your positive feedback. I love SD and enjoy making it and they all seem to have a life of their own.

not my first SD, just first with sun dried.
