The internet is full of both debate and certainty about the best water to use to create a sourdough starter. Over the years, we’ve observed that chlorine kills microbes and that sourdough starter seems to thrive in mineral-rich and lower pH environments, but we haven’t tested these observations in a controlled experiment until now. This experiment doesn’t arrive at a definitive answer to the question asked, but we learned so much while doing it that we want to share the information and insights.

Vollkornbrot is a German whole grain bread with complex fermentation flavors and plenty of nutrients and texture. This version has spelt and rye flours, a cracked rye soaker, and sunflower seeds, which all combine to give the bread a tasty fruity-and-nutty flavor that pairs well with cheese and butter.

These sourdough leavened olive baguettes are kind of spectacular. They have a touch of rye flour and so much crispy golden crust to enjoy with the bursts of olive flavor. The airy crumb can hold plenty of olive oil, and the baguettes also pair well with soft cheeses like ricotta and burrata, or shavings of hard cheese like pecorino romano and grana padano.

2024-03-25T16:46:58Z

Here we compare Kamut®, khorasan, and durum wheats for taste and performance differences in bread baking. The quick summary is that there seemed to be more terroir difference than species difference in the loaf appearance, and taste testers didn’t have consistent opinions about the flavors of all three breads. Some found durum more buttery, others found khorasan and Kamut more buttery. Same with sweetness.

This braided bread is both beautiful and scrumptious. The texture is squishy-tender from the milk and all purpose flour; and the flavor is balanced and interesting with some whole wheat flour, plus the toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and hint of honey. It makes an impressive gift bread, but you'll want to make yourself one too.

We experiment with “double scoring” which is a technique meant to increase the “bloom” (or opening) of the loaf during baking. With this technique you score normally before the dough goes into the oven, and then again 5-7 minutes into the bake.

Here’s a recipe for when you’re feeling playful or want a visually striking slice of bread. It involves mixing two doughs, one of which is hydrated with butterfly pea flower tea to create a bright, blue-violet crumb. Folding together the white and violet doughs is fun, and cutting into the final loaf to see how they ended up swirling together even more so.

Cottage loaves have a fun shape and are crusty on the outside and soft inside. Inspired by Paul Hollywood's recipe on the "Great British Baking Show," this sourdough version has a slow fermentation and a lot of flavor. It also likely harkens back to how the bread would have been made before the advent of commercial yeast.

2024-01-25T18:23:03Z

Kanelbullar are Swedish cinnamon buns made with a cardamom-spiced dough and twisted into knots rather than rolls. The cardamom and cinnamon combination is absolutely delicious and they tend to be a bit less sweet than American cinnamon buns even before icing is factored in. We experimented with making these buns using sourdough versus instant yeast, as well as 100% whole grain flours versus 25% whole grain flour and 75% all purpose flour. The results were delicious across the board but indeed quite different.

This vibrant purple sweet potato sourdough bread has a nutty sweet flavor with hints of vanilla and a soft moist crumb.

Challah is a popular Jewish bread typically enjoyed on the Sabbath and holidays. The dough is enriched with eggs, oil, and sugar and it’s often braided. There are many different and beautiful ways to braid dough and one of the easiest shapes is the round four-strand braid, often served at Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, to signify the cyclical nature of the year and seasons.

2023-09-25T18:22:58Z

When baking bread that calls for enriched dough (additions like eggs, milk, sugar), sourdough leavening (as opposed to commercial / instant yeast) can often result in a lack of desired crust browning (AKA “the Maillard reaction”) leaving you with a pale bread that looks bland and underbaked. In this post we go over reasons for this and provide a solution in the form of a sweet, stiff levain that gives results much closer to yeast alone.

Kernza has a nutty, herbal flavor that is delicious by itself or paired with other flours. ⁠For bread baking, it performs similar to einkorn and rye, making beautiful airy loaves when paired with stronger flours, and delicious closed crumb breads when used alone.⁠ Kernza has more fiber and protein than conventional wheat, and more fiber and about the same protein as ancient einkorn wheat.
