Bread's Gone To My Head
Nov. 14th, 2007 11:12 amI'm in full bread making mode these days. It all started with deciding to finally produce an excellent whole wheat sourdough. It's escalated into a full blown whole grain obsession.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered two books (Flour Power and one I can't remember the exact title of off the top of my head) justifying my purchase as "it will be my birthday present". Wouldn't you know they showed up on my birthday (yesterday)! Weird huh?
I'm going to buy a grain mill (pretty sure it will be the Grainmaker Grinder). it's going to cost about $300 with shipping for the one I want, so I'll need to set aside money until I can get it. With this grinder I can grind everything including soybeans and corn.
I made a Sourdough Rye with one of the starters I'm working on. Bread rise and texture good - tastes good too, but not "sour" enough yet. Maybe another week and I will try using the starter again.
