Sourdough bread with honey

So. freaking. delicious. bread. Not so beautiful, but the taste turned out amazing and I am very very very satisfied.

To make this bread you'll need
600g water
1120g flour (any flour you want)
375g wild yeast
20g yeast
150g sugar
35g honey

30g seasalt

Mix everything in a machine with a dough hook for 10min. Add seasalt and mix for 5min more. Oil a big container and let the dough sit in the fridge overnight. Bake for 25-30min at 200C (start with 225C and lower). Put some water in the oven to put steam in it, that makes a beautiful crust on the bread.

Wild yeast
-Day 1
1L water
800g rye flour

-Day 2
1L water
400g rye flour
400g white wheat flour

-Day 3
1L water
400g rye flour
400g white wheat flour

Mix water and rye in a container/bowl. Plastic wrap it and let it sit in roomtemperature. The next day remove half of the wild yeast and feed according to day 2. Repeat as long as you want, the longer you have a wild yeast, the more the sour taste will be in the bread.

Good luck!

Mini diamonds.

Not a big fan of cookies, but they are nice to look at and it's always fun to bake.

Wild yeast

My little baby this week. The idea is that I'm going to make a sourdough bread on friday, and for that we need wild yeast. Baking sourdough bread is very easy. Mixing just flour and water, let it stand for a few days and then you'll have wild yeast that you can bake the most delicious bread on. But it is also a mystery and many wrong things can happen during the process. There are many different kinds of wild yeast, but I'm using rye - and white wheat flour. Let's see how it goes.

Two things you have to eat when you're in Paris.

I brought home matcha chocolate and some caramels for Off when I was in Paris. Words do not describe how good the caramels are from Jacques Genin. Amazing in texture, rich in buttery flavor, these little treats will forever change your life. Caramel goodness. And she/we loved the matcha chocolate with black sesame seeds too.

Puff pastry

Flor, water, salt and butter makes this incredible dough.

1650g flour
165g butter #1

1000g butter #2

Start by mixing water, butter #1, salt and flour together to a dough. Enclose butter #2 with the dough. Do four double turns, but let the dough rest between turns and before working out. Fill and shape however you like. Sooo damn good.
