Sometimes you end up with a lot of different flour in your pantry and just want to throw it all in the bowl and see what happens. That’s exactly what I did with this experimental loaf. For having seven different kinds of flours, it actually rose very well and has a nice dark tan crumb….

High Protein Flour Sourdough
I’ve been playing around with various bread recipes using Ardent Mills Kyrol high protein flour. The protein percentage clocks in at 14.3% (compared to ~12% for bread flour and 10-11% for AP flour). The high percentage of protein means a lot more gluten development. This recipe tempers the high protein content slightly by adding some…
Spent Grain + Whole Wheat Standard Loaf
My sourdough culture has been acting up lately (really low gluten development), so I wanted to go back to basics with a standard bakers yeast recipe. If you’ve read my previous posts, you’ve probably seen how I really like using spent grain flour in my loaves to help give it an extra boost of whole…
Bread Flour + Spent Grain Sourdough
I wanted to have some more bread on hand and hadn’t made a loaf with spent grain in a while. I threw this one together on a whim and it turned out tasting really nice. Schedule Using the lazy sourdough method is actually quite simple. The real key to this method is that you can…
Whole Wheat + Spent Grain Sourdough
My sourdough culture had been sitting, mostly neglected, at the back of my fridge for the last two months. I finally decided it had been long enough and pulled it out and fed it a few times earlier in the week and then baked this delicious double batch today. Whole wheat flour mixed with some…
Dark Rye + Spent Grain Sourdough
Monsoons finally hit here in Santa Fe which really helped cool the house down. I hadn’t baked bread recently because cranking the oven to nearly 500’F for almost 2 hours when it’s already 85’F in the kitchen just wasn’t appealing. I decided my first loaf back was going to be a hearty rye and spent…
5 Flour Sourdough
These ‘clear out the cabinet’ loaves came about after I was looking at all the random flours I had in my pantry. The five flours in this recipe are bread, whole wheat, rye, buckwheat and spent grain. These flours and flavors combined into a couple really nice loaves for sandwiches. Schedule Using the lazy sourdough…
Seeded Lazy Sourdough
This is another loaf using the “lazy” sourdough method. I baked this at the same time as my Cheddar and Paprika loaf. This recipe uses sunflower, poppy and sesame seeds but you can substitute just about any seeds you’d like. Schedule Using the lazy sourdough method is actually quite simple. The real key to this…
6 Grain Sourdough
I really enjoy using several different flours and grains in a bread to really give it some depth and complexity. With this bread I used six different grains and flours I had in my pantry to come up with a really tasty sourdough. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my sourdough schedule. Since this…
Overnight Loaves w/ Whole Wheat
Some friends are doing a big pre-holiday dark beer sharing party and I wanted to bring some bread to help keep everyone sitting upright throughout the night. There wasn’t much notice about the party so I used the overnight baking schedule to whip up these flavorful loaves. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my…
