Another attempt to mobilise you for #RandomFriday!
This is a bread I bake from time to time, the recipe is quite simple but it takes time because it's a cold fermentation, which means the dough needs to be left in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Going to bed with the thought of fresh bread and waking up with the thought of fresh bread.
I think there should be a longwinded, complicated japanese word for it. 😊
I owe you the cut-shot of my yesterday work. So here it is.
It all came out very well, despite some untested variations of the recipe. Like using the wonderful swiss "Ruchmehl" instead of lighter wheat flour.
Fougasse is kind of like French foccacia. Back in the days when wood-fired ovens were cutting-edge technology, fougasse was used as a sort of "test loaf" to make sure the oven was the right temperature for further baking.
Took half an hour out of my morning to get some #bread started. Not sure when it will wrap up - this sort of timing usually ends up with a few loaves baked around supper time or shortly thereafter.
#sourdough is unpredictable though and this is a newer starter offshoot I've been cultivating for the last month.
