Sour Seed Dough 40/100 and 60/100
You’re thinking, “Sour Seed Dough?” what is she up to now? Debra Wink gave me the idea of playing with the Boudin original recipe, which she sent me. We have been experimenting back and forth with it to obtain a “sour” bread. It is obviously not the way they(Boudin) bake their sourdough now. Home baked sourdough’s are still the best.

Summer Sourdough
This is Summer Sourdough cooling off quickly in my freezer. I am sending it to a friend and want to cool it down and get it into the mail on the same day.

Today… Baguettes !
The Australian Forum is having a Baguette bakoff, and I was asked to submit. So today I baked up six one pound Baguettes. I just used the Basic White recipe on my site at : http://www.northwestsourdough.com/recipes.html , and I added a cup of motherdough. If you don’t know what motherdough is, do a search on my blog here, there are some other posts about it. I mixed up the dough yesterday, but instead of shaping the loaves and putting them in the refrigerator, I put the whole bowl in the refrigerator and warmed up the dough and shaped this morning.
Super Holey Pane Teresa Sourdough
This bread is so wonderful!! It has the most unique flavor and terrific holes and it pops in the oven like a miracle. I am amazed everytime I bake it again! You MUST have a vigorous motherdough at 80% hydration going to make this recipe work. I made up the dough let it cool overnight and next day:
