Sourdough

Late last year, I somehow got into my head that I wanted to start making some sourdough bread, so armed with my new book, Tartine Bread, the good old web and a local supplier of all things for home made bread, I made the beginnings of my sourdough starter.  I have really been enjoying making the most delicious bread and thought I would share a photo of my latest creation....With my previous loaves, I have been using mainly the artisan bread flour which I bought and a small amount of Rye...however, as I am almost out of the Artisan flour and I have some wholemeal on hand, I thought I would try half and half of the wholemeal and the Artisan, still adding a small amount of the Rye.  I have also recently started using a bread tin which I have had for some years as I found the free-form loaves weren't as useful for sandwiches and toast etc.  The free-form ones are great to take to freinds or for a shared lunch at work...Anyway, thought I would show a photo of my wholemeal loaf....
