This might be the best bread I've ever had in my life. I wouldn't believe I had made it myself if I wasn't there when it happened.

It's a bread mullet. Yeasted in the front, Sourdough in the back.

On the flip side, I think I did get a bit more oven spring on my sourdough loaves.

I dont mean to belittle or demean this poor woman who died of whatever horrendous disease or strain of plague she died of because of working in the Russian plague bio-lab.... But doesn't she bear a striking resemblance to a certain former KGB agent?

No wonder they were crackling. This one has developed cracks while it cools.

Y'all. I don't think I can go back to store-bought bread. Not in the US, anyway. Baking my own may be frustrating at times but it's soooooo much better. Toasted with butter there just isn't really much of anything better.

Oh. I made these yesterday. Browned-butter chocolate chip cookies with peanuts. I added the peanuts for a little salt and crunch. I don't feel they added what I wanted.

Two loaves of un-popped sourdough today. Please ignore the cocoa puffs under the cooling racks. My kids are filthy humans and I'm lazy.

The music aside, if you haven't been to Sagrada Familia, do it if you ever get the chance. It is the most incredible church I've ever been in.

Ok. These are not sourdough but this is what I was trying to accomplish with these loaves. Provided they also taste good, that is.

First time I've made a sandwich with bread I made. Turkey and American on sourdough with mayo and deli mustard.

Misshapen, small rise, almost no oven spring. It seems I'm not very good at this baking bread thing.

Happy birthday to Colorado. But more importantly happy birthday to my younger son, Luca! This is his leg supporting Stella's head.

Alright. Loaf 1 tastes pretty damn good with some butter. More open crumb like I was trying for. Not quite completely baked. 1000g whole wheat/AP/bread flour. 600g starter. 85% hydration.

Another misshapen, ugly loaf with very little oven spring.

Second loaf from the same dough is also, obviously, a slack, wet disaster. Into the oven.

Misshapen, low spring but it did smell amazing.

This is going to be a disaster but I've put it in the oven anyway.

This is the first loaf. I'm giving the second to my brother in law. Forgive the IKEA children's plate.
