Crusty Rolls, one again

I’ve “struggled” with consistency. While results always tasted good, they always were good bread, they also always were different.

Sometimes the crumb, sometimes the crust, sometimes the rise, the taste, …

But now I’m getting there

6 crusty bread rolls, dusted with flour, sitting on a cooling rack

Renewed

Successfully restarted the sourdough starter with last weeks old dough.

The bread looks “normal”, which is a good thing.

two batards of Wuzenbrot, freshly baked the close up shows thee root like structure, which gives Wurzenbrot its name

Forgotten “Old Dough”

Last week I baked some more Wurzenbrot www.zahr.koeln/2024/02/0… and forgot to keep back some of the old dough to use as starter. Merde.

So this week’s bread rolls started with a biga and then cold fermented over night.

They look good, smell good, and hope they also taste good.

First try, smells heavenly. Tomorrow with a cup of coffee and some whipped cream.

Crusty buttery crust and creamy lemony filling

That was a bit tiring

Three perfectly nice and innocent looking twisted baguette

Cold fermenting my dough didn’t work quite as anticipated, had to give the dough another 8 hours on the counter

Two Wurzenbrote

After our vacation I had to shorten the fermentation of our starter, while not fermenting in the fridge. The bread looks great, but little oven spring.

Views over the mud flats off #Butjadingen - very little difference between b/w #photos and colour today. Add to that icy wind …

View across the Weser estuary at low tide. On the other side of the mudflats and tideways the cranes of Bremerhaven harbour. The seabridge reaches the sky from the right. Low tide has exposed the mudflats and a tideway The receding tide has cut a deep channel into the mudflats, with sharp sides, like a miniature Grand Canyon, meandering from the left and leaving the picture at the top

View towards the tidal mudflats, in the foreground some grass with rain puddles. Tide is out. Apart from the grass this could be a b/w picture B/w picture of the mudflats, a Priel meanders through the picture, a seabridge on the left A seabridge runs into the mudflats on the left. On the right, on the other side of the Weser estuary, the cranes of Bremerhaven harbour can be seen. Tides out. Surface of the low tide mudflats. The footprints of seabirds can be seen.
