I am experimenting with sourdough these days. I have tried it a few times already but could not really get the hang of it, my breads would mostly turn out heavy and dense. now, my starter is ‘vigorously bubbly’ as the pro’s call it, and my breads are so very tasty (if one may say so herself?!)
a real fun challenge, observing, nurturing and caring for the starter and learning more and more on how to understand and treat the dough. almost like an obsession, I think I baked six loaves this week! another tasty, rewarding thing I am into these days is homemade lemon curd. easypeasy and works well on top of the bread or as a dessert.
baking is therapy! but enough of that. wish you all a happy and tasty weekend.
Sounds like therapy I should try. :) Not a bad obsession to have...I can't get a loaf to rise to save my life. I obviously don't understand the dough! I want to be the girl who always has a fresh loaf on the counter.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you too!
Jag älskar också att baka men eftersom jag bor ensam gör jag det inte ofta.
ReplyDeleteFörra sommaren lagade jag några gånder surdegsbröd,finskt med rågmjöl och det blev ganska gott:)
Önskar du kunde komma till oss och baka. Gott!
ReplyDeleteOch lemoncurd också.. Mmm. Nu äe hela gänget ute och tittar på påskbrasa och det är alldeles tyst, ett glas rött och en bok. Så skönt. Kram!
Happy weekend sara & happy bread making....yum!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always!
well, you got me hooked already... the bread is looking how it should, i now dream about the curd on top...

Jag skulle vilja lära mig att baka. Har trott de senaste 20 åren att nu minsan kommer jag att börja baka... Ofta när jag levt ett flackande liv tror jag att jag kommer börja baka när jag kommer tillbaka till Sverige...
ReplyDeletesarah, i am sure you could, probably just missing out on a few details, are you using yeast or sourdough to being with?
ReplyDeleteyael, mmmm finskt rågbröd! det är något helt annnat än vita pitabröd det...
nanna, det gör jag gärna, en dag! ett glas rött och bok låter mysigt. kramar

ReplyDeletemmm, kan du lära mig hur man gör snart? några start-tips-och-tricks? p&k
ReplyDeletehow inspiring! my boyfriend keeps talking about wanting to make his own half rye sour dough bread - i showed him this for inspiration. hope he'll master his tamagochi jars as well as you did. your bread loaves look wonderful x nice you found my blog the other day! :)
ReplyDeleteMmm ... fresh bread ... nothing like it: the scent, the sound, the feel, of warmth and the crust. Fresh bread is sexy stuff ... in as much as bread is sexy :-)
ReplyDeleteb, :) love and kiss!
ReplyDeletemerel, mmm kampvuur! en loslaten met bakken, is een gooie! misschien naam voor een koekboek?! :)

ReplyDeletea girl to my own heart. I love baking my own bread in fact I make a couple of loaves a week and my husband loves me for it.
I havent progressed to sourdough yet but Ill be ready in a couple of months when things settle down and I can nurture my starter.
