#fred makes bread

practicing for christmas

this bread was too big for my biggest bread knife

i made these sourdough buns for pulled pork sandwiches out of 100% freshly milled flour. i sifted some bran out, so I wouldn't call them completely whole wheat, but boy are they tasty.

I made this sourdough last week. The two on the left are potato rosemary, and on the right we have my standard blonde (mostly white flour but not 100%) loaves.

I was talking to my grandpa a couple weeks ago about his struggle to make bread (in general, but especially whole wheat) rise. I felt like taking a detour from my regular mostly white loaves to try to perfect my whole wheat. This attempt didn't spring much in the oven, but I'm pleased overall with everything else.
