Nice looking breads @xtsho. I haven't tried my hand at Pita's or english muffins yet. Yours looks mighty tasty.

From what I've seen of your baking, you shouldn't have any problem with pita and muffins. I do my muffins on the stove. They're not baked.

I also make both corn and flour tortillas. They might not be perfectly round but they're as good or better than store bought and I have control over what's in them. None of those preservatives and dough conditioners, etc...

That's interesting about the English muffins.

Just pulled this out of the oven. It's sourdough. Bulk fermented about 7 hours, shaped, put in pan, and proofed for another 3 hours.

That looks good @xtsho . When you cut into it, post a picture of the crumb.

Wow, that looks delicious @dramamine . I always wanted to make chocolate Babka after I seen it on a Seinfeld episode.

That's a nice looking boule. Post a picture of the crumb if you remember after you cut it open.

What else is up your sleeve TimJ? Lets see it, lol

 

[Timj]

I'll make a soft rye bread next. Our local market now sells King Arthur rye flour. They have a recipe on the bag I'll be trying. I want to compare it to the traditional rye bread I make.

 

[Green Squall]

Do you ever make a dark rye bread with molasses? Also, if you don't mind me picking your brain, did you mostly learn from online recipes or is there a book you could recommend? I'm just now dipping my toes into art/hobby.

 

[Timj]

Yes, I do make a bread called Cherniy Hleb it is basically a pumpernickel. I learned from trial and error using online recipes and then purchased this book. It's called "Flour Water Salt Yeast" , by Ken Forkish. I also learned from a few very good bakers over on another cannabis site I belong to.
