I'm NOT on a boat but I did just get back from a week in our local rainforest! Best wishes to everyone who's sailing this year. Let's stay safe out there.

Today's bread is a Normandy-style loaf with a mix of rye, wholemeal and unbleached bread flours. It's the first time I have used rye flour in bread.

It is mixed with dry cider* and water, and has 3 rising times.

I can't wait. #warmBread #realButter

-------------------

*I have to drink the rest of the cider, right? Cider is the only #alcohol drink that my body tolerates reasonably well. I usually don't bother, but needs be....

** I do cook with alcohol in some dishes - wine, dry vermouth, gin, some liqueurs. My body tolerates it as long as it is cooked off.

Made a semolina sourdough focaccia (half rosemary and garlic and Asiago ) and started a leaven for baguette 🥖 my starters are named Thing #1 & Thing #2. 😛 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #warmbread #foccacia
