Whole Wheat Sourdough Mornings

Kale and Garlic Sourdough 

Morning all, its been a while since I've posted and its due to a new job I picked up. EW! Its a cooking position at a local coop and its the best kitchen job I've had so far. Kitchens can be a mess but this one is surprisingly clean, organic, local and great fellow cooks. Oh and not to mention the pretty people who come in and make suggestions, mostly health conscious people or as their real name, hippies.
On my days off which are Tuesdays and Wednesdays I packed my things got some Butterworks farm Whole Wheat flour and headed to the bakery.  We prepped our loafs the night before and let them do the special thing they do overnight. 

  These are two loafs with chopped Kale, diced Garlic, 20 grams of salt, 80 grams of starter and no measure for water/flour. Im gonna try making my loafs without measuring with a scale, I want to get better at just estimating from eyes.

 My husband meanwhile mixed a loaf with whole wheat (Butterworks) and organic molasses. Hold on, he is my husband but more so my partner (lifelong partner). His loaf was smaller but much tastier them mine were. The crust was a fantastic dark brown with beautiful exposure, there wasn't much of an oven spring but it had raised enough. The whole wheat and molasses combined together makes a fantastic loaf.

Booya motherlicker!

Focaccia Master

This kid whips this up overnight and makes our roommates diet all fd up in the morning. I think our roommate Megan eats nothing but Rosemary Garlic Focaccia when she wakes up. As Megan puts it "this is sick nasty".

One of our bakers has developed a master Focaccia loaf with the perfect amount of fermentation, sweetness, and flavor. Not only does this loaf have a beautiful taste and flavor but has an amazing crust from top to bottom. Main ingredients are olive oil, rosemary, garlic, thyme, pepper & Salt, King Arthur White Whole Unbleached Flour and Sourdough Starter. This loaf is a double ferment of about 12 hours total and a morning bake at 450F for 25-35 min.
