Nothing better than the aroma of lovely sourdough country loaves at home. Piping hot 4 x Heartwell hard purple + hard white whole wheat loaves to warm a wintry MLK day in Chicago. 🍞🧣 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @ahlao.got.bread

Sourdough pandan shokupan with Heartwell wheat from @bartonspringsmill 🌾 Lovely purplish hue on the outside, and deliciously fragrant and nutty on the inside! Made an omelette to go with this. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @ahlao.got.bread

Back to my first bread bake to kick off the new year! Sourdough whole grain pandan shokupan - today’s grain mix is the beautiful Heartwell purple hard wheat flour from @bartonspringsmill topped up with some Japanese bread flour. Can’t wait to taste it tomorrow. 🍞

First Earl Grey sourdough shokupan bake with fresh milled flour using a new recipe from @perplexity.ai …dutifully followed through.

It was an interesting recipe but suffered from many weird recommendations - the sweet stiff starter wasn’t really stiff (still 1:1 flour:water), and getting me to to do a 45 min autolyze at a 3:1 flour to water ratio for my fresh milled flour was just impossible. Inoculation was fairly low for sourdough shokupan, and I eventually just decided to bake it. Fun bake for science!

36 hour pulut hitam 80% wholegrain country sourdough loaf, made with freshly milled local organic wheat berries, and a porridge of forbidden black rice (pulut hitam). Such a lovely pandan/coconut fragrance and hydration from the porridge, paired with the heartiness of the whole grains.

Love the aroma and simplicity of fresh milling a range of local organic and ancient wheat berries for tomorrow’s 80% whole grain sourdough bread bake. Also soaking forbidden black glutinous rice in coconut water for a really luscious experiment.

Beautifully fragrant earl grey 80% whole grain country sourdough today, made with a blend of freshly milled grains - Glenn, Turkey Red, Khorasan, brown rice - with some malted type 85 flour. And a wonderfully rich brew of Vadham earl grey tea :)
