24.01.2022 Finally! Perfect crumb on my seeded sourdough. So crusty on the outside and soft in the middle. 30% wholegrain bakers flour, 10% semolina, 60% white bakers flour, 75% hydration with linseeds, black & white sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds (soaked in water) Sometimes my wholemeal loaves come out quite dense even after overnight proofing in the fridge. This time I let it proof for 3-4 hours longer and it was perfect - approx 26 hours from mixing the dough to putting it in th...e oven . . . . . . #nonnachong #sourdough #wholegrain #wholewheat #perfectloaf #homebaking See more

02.01.2022 One of the main reasons why I love running my cooking classes is the connection it brings - to each other; to the food ,by cooking from scratch; and to our family, by nourishing them with delicious meals cooked with love. Thanks Ed for the lovely review! Yesterday I ran a dumplings masterclass with 6 families in New York, Philadelphia, Sydney, Canberra, and with me in Melbourne. We can't travel to see our friends and loved ones interstate or overseas for awhile yet, so the connections we can make, even virtually, mean so much!
