Gosh! What ratios are you using for that.
Do you find the Schwalbe better than the Continental?

It's about 65% hydration, with ...

Oh, hang on, you've posted in the wrong thread, haven't you! 😂

I think I will give that beetroot loaf a go. We've got a glut of home grown beetroot.🐱

I bought Jack Sturgess's book, Bread Every Day, yesterday and had a go at his beetroot, raisins and rosemary loaf. It's still cooling down so no idea of the taste yet but it smells amazing.

Be warned, it’s fairly messy with all that beetroot and juice.

My kitchen looked like a slaughterhouse at one point.

Re beetroot! I'm a baby boomer. Early years after the war
School had a garden. Did gardening most afternoons. Ate what we grew.

Beetroot were the bane of my young life. They grew we ate them. In those days it was boil it or pickle it.
A classmate's father provided meat. He could and did tell us who out of the herd or flock we were eating. Usually boiled to get that special grey colour to infuse everything our "food criminals" cooks produced.

I'm not the biggest fan of beetroot. But it *does* make a good chutney...

Mmmm, hot beetroot with a thick white sauce, bliss.

Loaf looks great - I love beetroot; I had a fantastic borscht in Moscow.

Lo and behold, this weeks veg box contains a jar of Biona organic beetroot. I love beetroot, with a cheddar so mature that your mouth thinks you're chewing razor blades.

A seeded bloomer this time.

It's another Jack Sturgess recipe although he splits his dough into two bloomers but I made one huge one instead.

I'm using up a lot of ingredients today.
So far I've prepared 2 sourdough loaves for baking tomorrow, baked a garlic focaccia and a wholemeal loaf
Chocolate beetroot cake is baking in the oven. I haven't started on the beetroot bread as I've run out of white bread flour!🐱

The freezer will be full, but so will my tummy.😺

I love freshly baked goodies that are made at home, you cant get better than that!

I saw these cinnamon buns on Nadiya's programme last night and had a bash at making them. They are very tasty and addictive. 🐷

(I left off the dusting of icing sugar.)
