Haven’t been making sourdough for months due to house move so was nice to get back into the swing. These are 24hr wholemeal loaves - 70% strong white and 30% wholemeal with 75% hydration. Much better than anything shop bought. We’ve got a new oven with a dedicated bread baking setting - produces a much better spring than our old oven. Loaves are pretty large - over 800 grms baked.

    Systemic Me neither. Bit just recently want to get back. Please would you send me a starter please 😎

      Yup I’ve just been very lazy , time slips away and not got 10 day s for a full mature starter . You should know me by now 😂

      PM me your address and I’ll send you some.

      profesor_historia Broadly speaking yes, it is my own simple recipe and quite quick, once the chicken goes in about 25 mins and the rice is ready at the same time.
      It is not ‘hot’ but very tasty / spicy.

        Fancied something to go with my cup of Java….

        Double chocolate biscotti. If I decide to dip one end in chocolate, they become triple chocolate biscotti.

        Was bored so thought I would just rustle up a few fruit scones…

        Yes, double egg wash… 1st one straight after put on the baking tray, then put in the fridge for half an hour uncovered, and egg washed again just before putting them in the oven.

        Unfortunately, as it was a spur of the moment thing, we do not have any clotted cream or double cream to whip up, but a good spread of butter and some jam will do nicely.

            Irish butter and jam – this is the way we are enjoying our scones as well.

            A few minutes ago I have taken my Brioches out of the oven. Kind of a french substitute for scones…

            Recipe of it (and many more) is here, for those who don’t mind to read in German
