Death By Carbs - Bread and Dough Making

So working on bread, will bake later. But with the leftover levain I though about making some pitas. No real recipe. A small pile of levain, x amount of water and whole wheat flour, an egg, some oil and salt. Let rise for about 4 hours. Roll them out then cook them in a pan.

They are everywhere!

Ha - an they were pretty good - had a couple with salad and some chicken...

 

Last night's bake

Oat Sourdough
Wild Yeast Starter

Oat Flour – 128g
Whole wheat – 224g
All Purpose – 248g
h20 – 480g
Levain – 90g
Salt – 15g

bake:
covered 500 20 min
covered 450 20 min
uncover 15 min

 

Levain was 24 hours - bulk rise 5 hours - proof another 5 hours. This has made a really sourdough. I like it a lot - shared at work this morning.

Crumb - not the best - but I was worried about it so relived as to the outcome.

Salt = 15.625g

Flours:

Whole 150g

I still like the Oat a little better for my taste, but really good results - I think I may be getting the hang of this.

Over all very nice. The Oat is still my best loaf... This Barley makes great toast though..

I am liking the results of the high hydration bread - really hard to work with (goopy).. but guess it is all about the outcome.

They are not as pretty as well

Yes I have still have been baking, a lot..

Starting to get the hang of this thing.

Something new that came out well, thought I would share. This is a combo bulgur flour that I ground up at home, along with oat flour, that I made with adding bulgur porridge as well. At a high hydration.. Really nice bake and flavor

Cheers
