Beautiful loaf . . . have to get busy with my starter, it's been neglected lately!
Re: Whole grain wheat and rye sourdough
I'm so jealous of anyone who can make perfect loaves like that. I do bread in my ABM & quick breads, but otherwise I'm yeast-phobic. I think you almost have to grow up doing it to have the natural talent for it & I grew up a VERY LONG TIME AGO.

Twissis; I actually know how to make bread; but, I have NO PATIENCE for it. And, I tend to like to wing it; and, that is not how you bake.
Which, is why I cook and not bake.
I would love to just have someone bake for me.
RAG, that bread is awesome. I am truly envious of those who can bake awesome breads. Seriously gorgeous!!

You're right Kim . . . you can't wing it to easily when you're baking, it's a bit of a science. Once you've been baking awhile you have a better understanding of how far you can go with it. It's not difficult, especially with new instant bread machine yeast, just mix in with the flour!
Re: Whole grain wheat and rye sourdough
wow that is one heck of a great looking loaf of bread RAG ... I may give that a try soon, I don't make homemade bread that much anymore since my DH passed away I used bake buns/bread every morning, I miss it...
If you can eat, you can make it!

Re: Whole grain wheat and rye sourdough
You've come to the right place Misty . . . as you can see by Red's photo, there's some talent here! Has it been awhile since you tried to bake bread? Have you tried the no-knead or better yet, the new stretch and pull method? It's my favorite . . . fun to see how it transforms water, yeast and flour with so little effort! Here's a link to the forum on the stretch and pull method! http://www.recipezazz.com/forum/viewtop ... f=7&t=5730Red Apple Guy wrote:Misty,it's not hard and this is a good place to learn.
