Spelt Sourdough

I now have baked enough sourdough loaves --and Alexa Crowe's my favourite-- to feel confident enough to try to add different flours to the mix. Thus, I baked this Spelt Sourdough, and I'm rather proud of it! While there is less spelt flour than there is strong white flour, the flavour is different, a bit nuttier, and I and Mum loved it! It's just wonderful with butter, good cheeses from Roquefort to Saint-Marcellin and a good craft beer! I'll bake a few of these, and then I shall grab the rye flour!

Ingredients (makes 1 loaf):

1 tablepoon pure good quality raw honey (I used forest honey we brought back from Auvergne)

about 180 millitres/¾ cup hot water

½ tablespoon vegtable oil like sunflower or grapeseed

2 1/3 cup strong white flour

1 cup spelt flour

1 teaspoon salt

325 grams/11.5 ounces Sourdough Starter

about 60 millilitres/¼ cup lukewarm water

Spoon honey into a small bowl. Stir in hot water until completely dissolved. Allow mixture to become lukewarm.

Grease a large glass bowl with grapeseed oil; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine strong white flour, spelt flour and salt, and give a good stir. Add Sourdough Starter and honey mixture, and stir, gradually adding more lukewarm water, as necessary, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. You may not need to add all the water, but your dough should not be dry, it should just stick a bit to your fingers.

Tip dough out onto a clean surface, and knead, a good 10 to 15 minutes. Kneading will make it smooth and elastic and no longer sticky. Shape into a ball, and pop into prepared bowl. Cover with an oiled sheet of cling film, and allow to rise, in a warm enough, draught-free place, 3 hours.

Line a bowl or basket with a clean tea towel, and flour it generously (if it isn’t floured enough, the dough will stick to it!)

At this point, the dough should have doubled in size. Tip it out onto the kitchen counter and knead well to knock the air out, 5 minutes, slapping the dough onto the counter-top. Shape the dough into a ball and place into lined basket or bowl, seam-side up. Cover loosely with a lightly oiled sheet of cling film, and prove a second time, overnight, in a draught-free room. This second prove should take between four to eight hours.

Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F, placing a dish filled with water on the bottom shelf of the oven, to create steam and a beautiful crust.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Once second prove is complete, gently lift off cling film. Then, carefully tip risen dough out of its basket and onto prepared baking tray, lifting off tea towel gently. Spritz gently with water, and slash with a sharp knife. Place baking tray in the middle of the hot oven, and bake at 220°C/430°F, for 30 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 200°C/395°F, and bake, for a further 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and lift off the baking tray.

Let Spelt Sourdough cool completely (if you can), before eating slathered with butter, honey and jam, with tasty cheeses and good wines or cold ales!

I was at the grocery store yesterday (in the rain) attempting to tetris all my groceries into my bike saddle bags (I folded my french bread in half, wet) at the bike rack right near the entrance/exit of the store. I heard a woman standing at the exit (just out of the rain) ask a man who was leaving if she could please borrow one of his plastic bags (the green produce kind) to put on her head because she forgot an umbrella. And he did, and I looked up in time to see her putting the green plastic bag on like a sleep cap ("I paid too much for this hair" she said) and I told her it was an excellent look (me very wet). It was a good day for grocery shopping.

#chrissy speaks #i got home and put the french bread (ripped in half) in the toaster oven on bake and it was okay

Make it make sense that "rudimentary" finish on a showstopper went home instead of someone whose showstopper was 1) RAW 2) underbaked 4) had fewer and less unique flavors - some you could not even taste because again... the entire thing was raw 5) significantly less intricately plaited (which was a skill you had to demonstrate) 6) and on the nitpicking aspect of finesse, absolutely lacked finesse and art because it was a word and not an image and half of the display was inedible 7) came absolutely last in the technical because they left out a key ingredient that made their bun not even rise or taste right.

You are telling me bland flavor on a signature and a "rudimentary" appearance on a showstopper along with a texture that "just needed more" was WORSE THAN THAT?!

I am calling robbery. I am calling bullshit.

This is Paul and Prue looking at the implicit rule that you judge each week independently and launching it into space.

This is favoritism my friend.

This is blatant bias and should be eliminated from the show already-- it has been fourteen seasons!

#gbbo #gbbo 2023 #gbbo spoilers #gbbo ep 3 spoilers #abbi was robbed #fuck off with rudimentary paul.... she created a flipping TREE complete with mushrooms and he made a word out of bread #and half of it was made out of the bread equivalent of cardboard #all of her showstopper was edible and maybe 20% of his was if we are being generous #she had multiple great flavors and he had one that was again present in maybe 20-30% max of his bread display #his food is RAW and taste should matter above all else #furthermore he epically failed the technical because he forgot a key ingredient #a bland signature should not have sent her home #dan should have gone home 300%#bake off is the baking equivalent of “as you know in fashion one day you are in and the next you are out”#may karma bite dan in the ass next week #great british bake off

Smoked Salmon and Pickled Cucumber Sandwich

Warm days are upon us; they really are! And after a jolly good walk under a hot sun, across meadows and fields, there is nothing better than sitting down to a picnic with this Smoked Salmon and Pickled Cucumber Sandwich, a couple of glasses of ice-cold Chardie (just remember to bring lots of water, too, when you go hiking!), a good book and the blissfully scented shade of a black locust tree! Absolutely delightful, I assure you! A very good day to all!

Ingredients (serves 1):

a small Baguette Viennoise

2 tablespoons cream cheese

a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper

half a dozen to 8 slices Pickled Cucumbers

about 60 grams/2 ounces Smoked Salmon

Halve Baguette Viennoise without cutting it through, gently opening it like a book. Spread cream cheese generously onto each side of the Baguette Viennoise. Sprinkle with black pepper.

Layer Pickled Cucumbers and Smoked Salmon slices into the Baguette Viennoise, and press gently to close the sandwich.

Wrap tightly in cling film, if bringing as a lunch or picnic. Keep in the refrigerator.

Enjoy Smoked Salmon and Pickled Cucumber Sandwich with a few Crisps, and a well-chilled glass of Pays d’Oc Chardonnay Vigonier or Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
