I really love how adding a little bit of rye flour to a loaf can give it an extreme boost of complexity. In this loaf I added some spelt flour as well. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my bakers yeast schedule. Ingredients: Dough Method: I started with a 30 minute autolyse with all…

Spelt Flour + Rye Sourdough
The perfect sourdough recipe has been my goal for a few years. Between battling with varying ambient temperatures, trying to find a culture that ferments consistently and getting my schedule dialed in, there’s a lot to take into account. I’m getting pretty close with this spelt and rye flour recipe though! Schedule: I based this…
Sourdough Culture Comparison
I started a new sourdough culture using wild yeast and bacteria from a naturally fermented apple cider. In this experiment I made two identical loaves of bread with the only difference being the sourdough culture each one got. The new wild apple cider culture was only about a week old at the time of this…
Base Sourdough Culture Loaf
I did a side-by-side experiment with my existing sourdough culture (this loaf) and a newly created starter based on a wild cider culture. The actual experiment will be in a separate post, whereas this one simply outlines the results of this culture’s fermentation. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my sourdough schedule. This sourdough…
Wild Apple Cider Yeast Sourdough
A couple years ago I fermented a wild apple cider using only the yeast and bacteria that were naturally on the apples. The cider had a really nice funkiness to it, very similar to French and Spanish ciders. I kept a jar of the yeast and bacteria after I bottled the cider and it had…
Purple Sweet Potato Sourdough
I get on weird kicks every now and then and currently it’s trying to make purple bread. If you asked me why, I honestly have no answer for you. Before I started baking my own bread, I’d often find myself buying potato bread due to its soft texture. This bread has that same pillowy and…
5 Flours Country Bread
I took a look at my pantry and saw several jars, bags and containers of random flour I’ve been using over the last few months and thought ‘I wonder what would happen if I put all of this into one loaf?’ This bread has a lot going on. Using bread, spelt, whole wheat, rye and…
Sourdough Spelt + Rye w/ Caraway Seeds
In the week or two surrounding St. Patrick’s day I ate my fair share of Reuben sandwiches and really started wondering why I never tried making a ‘Russian Rye’ style bread that you typically see used with Reubens. I’m a little late to the game but this bread turned out wonderful. The caraway seeds give…
Blue Corn + Rye Sourdough
When used in smaller amounts, blue cornmeal can lend a great light blue/purple color as well as some texture when eating it. Mixing in a little bit of rye flour helps accentuate those flavors. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my sourdough schedule. Since this is a 100% naturally leavened bread, I created a…
