25.01.2022 Beautiful olive sourdough bread for Christmas Day lunch. With the softest lightest crumb inside and the lovely flavour from the kalamata olives. I just made a normal white loaf and added a half a cup of sliced kalamata olives to the dough after adding the starter and salt and kneading then before the folds. Details: 447 gms strong white flour 335gms water, 85gms starter/levain, 7 gms salt and half a cup of sliced kalamata olives. My starter was half rye half white.... 5 Coil folds every 45 minutes then pre-rounded and a 20 minute rest, then shaped into banneton for overnight cool proof 15 hours then baked 29 minutes with lid on @challengerbreadware pan at 250C and 13 minutes with lid off at 230C to crisp and blister the crust. Perfect it’s was a great addition to the Christmas lunch table. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #breadporn #sourdougholivebread #olivebread #artisanbread #realbread #healthy #delicious #instabread #instagram #instafood #instaphoto #instapic #instaphotograph #foodporn #foodphotography #foodphoto #food #foodpics #orders See more

25.01.2022 The aroma in the kitchen when I bake sourdough fruit loaves is soo intoxicating..the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves & allspice along with the plump golden raisins, currants , cranberries and sultanas is the best!

25.01.2022 Double chocolate chip cookies ooooh so delicious new on the cookie and cake order list

25.01.2022 Who doesn’t love the fermentation bubbles in a sourdough focaccia ..pressing in the tomatoes and rosemary pushes out the air and creates a wonderfully bubbly surface. Recipe on the website ..drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and its deeeelish! #sourdough #sourdoughfocaccia #foccacia #artisanbread #realbread #healthy #delicious #foodporn #food #breadporn #foodpic #foodphotography #foodphoto #foodpic #instabread #instagram #instafood #instaphoto #instapic #orders

24.01.2022 I’ve managed to keep this beautiful sourdough fruit loaf as all my recent bakes have gone to clients so I could cut and taste the delicious spices of cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, cloves and allspice ..I added a mix of golden raisins, currants, sultanas and cranberries soaked overnight and around 20% spelt. Slide for more photos ..I still did my normal coil folds which is much easier when handling dough filled with fruit which I added at the first fold, and a 15 hour cold proofing. The crumb was soft and moist and sooo light. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #sourdoughfruitbread #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #instabread #instafood #instagram #instagood #instapic #instaphoto #foodporn #food #foodphotography #foodphoto #orders #breadporn

24.01.2022 Lovely light and airy crumb on this 15% rye made with a rye starter & 80 % hydration..I did a dough lamination on the first fold stretching it out and it always gives great results. 5 x 45 minute coil folds and a long cold proofing if 18 hours. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #artisanbread #realbread #instabread #breadporn #instafood #instagram #instaphoto #foodporn #food #foodphotography #foodpics #orders #lessons

23.01.2022 Luscious sourdough fruit loaf fresh out of the oven full of golden raisins, cranberries, sultanas and currants with the aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg coming through ...absolutely delightful. 913gms weight baked a great size, and my loyal starter Cleopatra has shone with the rise, as we know fruit loaves can be tricky to get good rise out of. Strong white Brero flour from @basicingredients_ and a touch of rye. It’s off to a client I’ll have to find time to make some for me. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #artisanbread #realbread #sourdoughfruitbread #sourdoughfruitloaf #wildyeast #instabread #instagood #instafood #instaphoto #instapic #instagram #foodporn #breadporn #food #foodpic #foodphoto #foodphotography #orders

19.01.2022 Two beauties heading out for orders today 30% freshly milled spelt 75% hydration and a long 18 hour cold proofing..during these strained times it’s great for us sourdough bakers to know we are giving some pleasure to our treasured community #sourdough #breadporn #bread #artisanbread #realbread #wildyeast #healthy #delicious #instabread #instafood #instagram #instagood #instapic #instaphoto #food #foodporn #foodpics #foodphoto #foodphotography #orders #levainbakery

18.01.2022 Big belly bread sourdough alliteration..love it when the bloom is so gorgeous like this ..freshly milled 25% spelt and 15% rye with a 80% hydration and a long 19 hour cold proof on this baby. If you ever get a chance to work with freshly milled grain you will never go back the fresh taste is awesome. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #artisanbread #realbread #breadporn #instabread #instafood #instagram #instapic #instaphoto #foodporn #food #foodphotography #foodpic #foodphoto #orders

15.01.2022 Snipped the edges of the scoring cut with some scissors to form a nice frilly edge ..haven’t done this for a while and I like it! 15% rye & 20% spelt with 80% hydration and a 15 hour overnight cold proofing and baked straight from the fridge. Did a dough lamination for the first fold it will be good to see how open the crumb is when it’s cut. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #breadmaking #breadbaking #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #instabread #breadporn #instagram #instagood #instagram #instafood #instabread #foodporn #food #foodporn #foodpics #foodphotography #foodphoto #orders #lessons

15.01.2022 Sourdough baguettes are so rewarding to make and I’ve been making many for orders lately. I don’t make them long and skinny I make them with a little volume and a 20% spelt flour. High hydration is also a key point in baking baguettes with a lovely soft open crumb and I make them at about 80%. I’m so happy when my customers say they disappear quickly when they buy them and take them home for the family.

14.01.2022 Fabulous bloom on this 25% spelt and 15% rye sourdough with just 75% hydration baked in my @challengerbreadware ..luckily this one is a keeper and not going out with the orders today. There’s fabulous blisters on the crust which always happen when I use this pan. Now the obligatory 2 hour wait to cut into this delightful smelling freshly baked loaf #sourdough #sourdoughbread #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #naturallylevened #instabread #breadporn #instafood #instagram #instaphoto #instapic #foodporn #foodphotography #foodphoto #foodpics #orders

09.01.2022 Blister heaven!!!! blisters are generally formed when you take your dough straight from the fridge after long cold proofing and bake it. In fact I've met many people who thought that blisters were a fault in the sourdough loaf! This is not the case! Bread blisters come from CO2 slowly leaking from the surface of the dough while it ferments for a long time in a cold fridge. Best crust ever!!! #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #breadporn #instabread #instaphoto #instapic #instafood #instagram #foodporn #foodphotography #foodpic #food #foodphoto #orders

08.01.2022 I love making (and eating) these corn fritters they are so good for breakfast or a light lunch. I always make them with fresh corn kernels from the cob, mixed together with a few spices and herbs to give them zing, and serve them with crispy smokey bacon, beautiful roasted tomatoes and peppery rocket from the garden they are an absolute delight. Recipe on the website try them! #corn #cornfritters #bacon #smokeybacon #tomatoes #rocket #arugula #herbs #herbsfromthegarden

08.01.2022 First loaf baked in the new house and I think it’s a sign of great new beginnings ! 30% rye 80% hydration and a 16 hour cold proofing I’m a pretty happy baker . I’ve now marked my stamp on the house with the fabulous aroma of freshly baked sourdough..there’s nothing better #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #breadporn #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #instabread #instafood #instaphoto #instapic #instagram #foodporn #foodphotography #foodphoto #food #foodpic #orders

05.01.2022 Here is the crumb shot of my spelt, rye and organic white loaf from last post. The crust is dark and soo crunchy and tgr crumb is soft .. it’s taken years to perfect this with whole-wheat flours, gentle handling during coil folds and reasonably high hydration are keys. Don’t despair just keep practicing and handling the dough gently while doing your folds during your bulk dough development. It will be worth it.#sourdough #sourdoughbread #breadmaking #breadbaking #artisanbread #realbread #wildyeast #naturalyeast #healthy #breadporn #instabread #instafood #instagram #instapic #instaphoto #foodporn #food #foodpics #foodphotography #orders #lessons

04.01.2022 Cutting into this beautiful freshly milled spelt loaf was a delight the crunch of the crust the softness and the openness of the crumb there’s nothing better. High temperature baking in cast iron gives the fabulous crunchy crust and high hydration and gentle handling gives the beautiful open soft crumb. Now all I need lashings of creamy butter to go on it #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #breadporn #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #instabread #instafood #instagram #instavideo #instaphoto #instapic #foodporn #foodphotography #foodphoto #foodpic #orders

03.01.2022 A gorgeous crispy crust on this 15% rye and 20% spelt sourdough today the crumb is open and soft as the hydration was 80% ..with a long 19 hour cold proofing giving it a gentle sour note ..I generally bake my loaves for 29 minutes at 250C with the lid on the Dutch oven and 13 minutes with the lid off at a lower temperature of 230C I find this perfect timing for rise and then crisping the crust. Let’s enjoy this one with friends its not heading out for an order yummo ! #sourdoughbread #bread #breadporn #realbread #artisanbread #wildyeast #healthy #instabread #instafood #instagram #instavideo #instaphoto #foodporn #foodvideo #food #foodphotography #foodphoto #orders

02.01.2022 Lovely bloom on this one ... the ‘S’ scoring shape is always a good one for bloom love using it give it a try! 15% rye, 25% spelt & 85% hydration, 3 hour autolyse, 5 x 45 minute coil folds, (colder weather here need a bit longer) pre-round and shaping into banneton and into the fridge overnight for 15 hours. Scored and baked straight from the fridge as always it keeps it’s shape so much better recommend it!

01.01.2022 After all your hard working making beautiful sourdough tge moment you slice into that crunchy crust and see that lovely soft crumb inside .....delight! This is a 15% rye and 15% freshly milled spelt grain with a 80% hydration and a long 18 hour cold proofing..I see the result of the higher hydration with moist soft crumb.. with the crunchy crust it is a balance we bakers try to get all the time! #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #breadporn #realbread #artisanbread #healthy #instabread #instafood #instagood #instagram #instapic #instavideo #instaphoto #food #foodvideo #foodporn #foodphotography #foodphoto #orders

01.01.2022 Two lovely 30% spelt loaves one for my friend and one for a gift. But...the example here is in the scoring ..the loaf in the left hand side I scored a quick slash with no angle and not deep ..the one on the right i scored deep and at an angle giving the bloom the ability to lift and form an ear. So you can see it’s all how you hold the scoring lame and how you score it that gives different results. Happily helping and happily experimenting always as a baker. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #breadporn #artisanbread #realbread #instabread #instafood #instagram #instapic #instaphoto #foodporn #food #foodpics #foodphotography #foodphoto #orders #lessons
