Measure me not

Multiethnic Batard

A recent occurrence with me is the no measure technique. Im done!! More power to you if you are doing it. I dont have time to measure and honestly im trying to get in the flow of it so that i do everything by feel.

Here is a couple of loafs I did last night.

Flour:
Hand full of Teff, Buckwheat, Barley, whole spelt, white spelt, wheat, what husk/bran, and three hand fulls of white.

Other: approximate measure
Half cup of sesame seeds, half cup of poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, tablespoon of salt.

Culture: approximate measure
Table spoon of raw milk, three cups mature starter at 90%-120% hydration (just guessing)

Mix for 12 minutes let rest, add salt mix for five, let rest for 45min. Fold every half hour, shape and put in fridge overnight.

Approximately a 12 hour proof at about 50F.
Oven at 520F, 10min with some steam and 15 min with no steam.

So tasty, it was perfect!!!

Always experimenting with different ways to hold the lame.  Trying a new approach with more of a backwards swoop.  Here is some bread I baked today.

40% Maine Grains Whole Wheat.

Bread projects for tomorrow.

Obligations?  Where can this night take me?  Rain and cold weather are coming.  My one speed, fixed gear bicycle takes me everywhere I need to go.  Fill my Bailey Works Citi Pack with a 12 case of beer and truck it home.  Build and bake. Morning is coming, only hours away.
