You make beautiful bread!:)⭐️

this bread looks delicious Johnzerne  

Catching a ride with Karen40.Poole... 

JohnZerne, I have become addicted to your oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, btw. 

I've said it b4, and I'll say it again. Homemade bread is so yummy, it'll make you reject sliced supermarket bread in a heartbeat.  

The bread looks wonderful! We've baked our own bread for decades here. Tasty, hearty, and I know all the ingredients that go into it.  

that doesn't look like a straight white bread, is it a sprouted wheat mix? 

I have no bread making skills, this looks amazing.  

Nice 

nice! 

There's been so much going on this weekend, sorry I haven't been on much to reply. Recipe for these loaves: 100g whole grain rye flour, 25 g milled chia seeds, 150g whole grain oat flour, 130g freshly milled hard white whole wheat, 400g King Arthur bread flour, and 20g gluten. 320g sourdough starter, 10g salt. 450 ml water. I do have to adjust the dough by either adding a little extra flour or water to the kitchen aid mixer while I mix at speed 2 for 8 minutes. I let it rise for 3 hours. Then I separated it into two loaves and put the loaves into bread pans (sprayed with canola oil). I stuck them in the fridge over night so I could bake them fresh for dinner the next day. When I pulled them out I let them rise another 3 hours preheated oven to 375 and baked for 45 minutes.  

Karen and Jen, there's still some of the second loaf left for at least one more day. Any time works for me. Lol. We've got plenty of tea and I'll be making more bread in another day or two. Glad to hear you enjoy the cookies Jen! 

RikuHearts, not sprouted, but a blend of whole grains and bread flour. Recipe below.  

Sidnay, you might be surprised what you can make with the help of you tube bakers. My preferred channel right now is Brian Lagerstrom. He does have a good sourdough video.
