TA-DAH! Another batch of sourdough bread was baked today, and this time I tweaked the way I baked them by putting the dutch oven a level lower in the oven, opening the lid of the dutch oven a little bit on both loaves of bread, and baking the second bread on a lower temperature. I must say that opening the lid gave the loaves of bread more oven spring than when I kept it tightly closed. . I must add that Philly (my sourdough starter) was more active when I fed it two nights ago. This could be one of the reasons these loaves of bread have more oven springs than last week’s. . P.S. I didn’t take a picture of the battârd-shaped dough because I gave it to my friend, @mitchztanada. . #RaimskieSourdoughJourney #SourdoughChallenge #MySourdoughJourney #TastyApp https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmAYbYyrhA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ET VOILA! My bâtard-shaped sourdough bread! . Here’s the tea: the one that I baked yesterday overfermented by almost half an hour, which is why it did not have as much oven spring as this one did. To think that the starter that I used in this one isn’t as active as the one yesterday, I am so happy with the result. . P.S. Yes, that “art” could’ve been done better. 😅 . #RaimskieSourdoughJourney #SourdoughChallenge #MySourdoughJourney #TastyApp https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWM05OvA7M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TA-DAH! . I present to y’all my very first sourdough bread. I know that this is not the most perfect sourdough bread ever baked, but I think it’s not bad for my first try. 😁 . I’ll definitely try a different shape in a few days. . P.S. I know I should’ve scored it deeper, but oh well. 😅 . #SourdoughChallenge #TastyApp https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlzTd-vRyx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*phew!* . It’s now time to proof this bad baby in the fridge for baking tomorrow. . In case you’re wondering, yes, all this dough did was rest and I did all the work. 😅 . #SourdoughChallenge #TastyApp https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjeMmFp-G4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IT’S ALIVE!!! 🤩 . I have been fermenting this starter for over two weeks now, and I am so glad that patience paid off. . *phew!* . P.S. Sourdough starter recipe is from the @buzzfeedtasty app. . #SourdoughStarter #TastyApp https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjd78vBvOD7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cinnamon Scrolls recipe from the Tasty app. I changed the recipe by swapping the milk for a melted down tub of snickerdoodle ice cream and halved the amount sugar required for the dough mixture. #CinnamonScrolls #VeganRecipe #TastyApp #SnickerdoodleIcecream #Dessert #AfternoonDelight #FamilyTreat #WarmAndDelicious #HomeMade https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rxmm6lngZ/?igshid=1tid3ipizpqk0
