New #sourdough #fruitLoaf just out of the oven. I think my starter is not as active as it should be, turned out dense and short, but should taste fine and had a lovely colour.

#fruitLoaf just out of the oven. I use a tiny amount of connettivale yeast to supplement the sourdough starter (for flavour).
I also used bakers floor rather than general purpose and it rose well and kept its shape well too.

One date and pecan #fruitLoaf just out of the oven.
68% hydration using some sourdough starter and a tiny (1g or so) amount if instant dried yeast ’cause I was in a hurry.

First #fruitLoaf utilising the #autolyse process. Looks like it turned out well. Have to wait for it to cool to check the crumb and flavour.

Since it’s less than two weeks to Christmas, I figured now would be a good time to use the unexpected brandied loquats in my breakfast #fruitLoaf with pecans and christmas pudding spice mix.

It is stuffed with brandied currants, raisins and candied peel, and has speculaas spices.
