I roasted a turkey, post-Thanksgiving, specifically to provide us with a good supply of leftovers, so I needed to bake some good crusty sourdough bread for turkey sandwiches.

This is white/wholegrain Kamut/wholegrain rye, at 77% hydration.

White flour is King Arthur "Special Patent." Wholegrains are from Breadtopia, home-milled on a MockMill 100

@mfierst @LadyParadis tbh I’ve never seen Kamut in a store. So I buy Kamut berries and mill them at home. The price of Kamut berries isn’t hugely different than of hard red spring wheat berries. And I really love the taste- totally worth it!

@LadyParadis
The whole kamut bread was cooled enough to taste it.
Nice.
More flavour than whole wheat. Next time I must add a bit of extra water (if there is going to be a next time).
It is a pity the flour is darn expensive, about four times as expensive as wheat.
Is it better?
Yes.
Is it four times as good?
Nope.

My first attempt at baking bread with whole kamut flour.
I think it turned out pretty acceptable, the be honest.

Owwww the smell of baking. The oven is filling the house with the lovely perfume of bread baking.
Lovely.
I am currently baking a bread from whole Kamut flour (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorasan). This is my first time ever. I only recently found out about kamut.
Quote: "Khorasan wheat is grown in Europe mainly for bread, and in the Iranian province of Khorasan as food for camels."
(hence, I can understand Iranians think we Europeans are behaving like camels 😄 )
