  • First bread



    This is the first bread made from leaven starter ( 6 days old )  using white flour and without using commercial yeast !! Fantastic. Proof that it is possible .

    Baked in very hot oven 250C for 15 minutes , brushed with olive oil.

    It is YUMMY !

    I'm not sure what experts would say about texture and crust etc, but it really tastes good and is not heavy or yeasty .

    "mira's pride " ;) :))

  • Day 6 of leaven

    It's day five no six of leaven - leaven , as you might know from previous posts is the rising agent I'm making to use instead of yeast to make bread the old - fashioned way , before yeast became commercially available in shops.

    I've taken a bit of the stuff and made a little bit of dough , which is now rising. RISING , I tell you !

    *Proud*

    I don't think it is my imagination , either.

    We shall see, soon enough.
    Patience .

    The indentation is where I prodded it with my finger .
