The Bread thread

[Timj]

I make most of the bread I consume during the colder months of the year. One of my favorites is a naturally leavened bread, or some call it a sour dough. I have had some very talented teachers. Here is a basic naturally leavened loaf I have made many times. First is a picture of the loaf itself and next is a picture showing the crumb.

This one is called Pan de Cristal it is a 100% hydration bread. This means when first brought together you'd never think the dough would be more than pancake batter. It uses equal parts water and flour. It was a challange I wanted to take. It turned out to be one of the most wonderful textures of light,fluffy and crispy along with an excellent taste. It can also be made using chocolate.

Squash Challah bread!! My other half made similar some time ago. Squash rolls. Very similar tint as yours. Amazing flavor. How did it turn out? Sour dough looks great as well. Can’t eat flour at the moment but when I can again... im going to stuff my face full of every type of food that contains flour. Bread is up on the top of the list.

Sour cream bread.

40% whole wheat. I also added 2 tablespoons of Flax-Chia-Hemp seed blend to the dough. The taste is very earthy, definitely a keeper.

That bread was delicious with just a little salted butter.

blondie, that bread was really good. I love baking as you could see from the above posts. I also make some cakes and pastries that are pretty darn delicious. I think my girlfriend gained 20 pounds since we've been together. She blames me of course. That's some funny stuff about stuffing your face..

I made this bread pudding tonight. I used leftover bread from the above loaf. It was heavenly. And.. I'm not just saying that because I'm high. I did share most of it. This is all that's left. Here's the recipe I used.
