Half 'n half wheat-spelt sourdough, my new favourite I think - I've made two batches; this was the first and it was better than the second. Not quite sure why? That said the second batch was quite different from the first... no spelt just white/wholemeal wheat, I remembered the salt, I made it free-form instead of in a tin, held the dough over in the fridge for 2 days... ok, ok, so basically it was two different loaves entirely.
Oatmeal-raisin cookies from
Veganomicon - the yummiest ever!
A second batch of ciabatta, more successfully and carefully shaped this time.
And a second batch of Peter Reinhart's French Bread #1 from
Crust and Crumb... the first batch tasted ok but I didn't even photograph it because it looked appalling. I got the shelves and heat wrong in the oven so it burnt on the bottom and didn't colour on the top. This batch was better. I had to return the book to the library but when I get my hands on it again I'm going to try a third time to see if I can improve some more!
I've never made my own bread before but would love to give it a try. Daily trips to the bakers are a bit of a nuisance. Those cookies look delicious too.
