A Labour of Loaf
The KB.eats Sour- Dough's & Don'ts*
*more like the The Mistakes I Made So You Don't Have To
First thing is first, this shouldn’t be considered a "how to guide". This is supplementary information based on what I have learnt through making many mistakes and producing many subpar loaves of bread. I do not go into detail of processes or provide a recipe as I am not your baker for that. James Morton is. Am I teetering on the line of crazy fan girl by mentioning him yet again (been mentioning him a lot on instagram)? Potentially. But seriously, his book, "Super Sourdough", has been my travel guide, my road map, my Lonely Planet, on this Sourdough journey. Yes we are capitalising the “s” for Sourdough as it deserves that respect. Super Sourdough can be purchased from all good online book shops. Not gonna provide an Amazon link. Support your local book shop if you can 🙃
When things go wrong, as they often will with Sourdough baking, I always refer to THE book. I have googled stuff and made notes on what I have read, particularly the more scientific information, but always go back to THE book. Even if you choose to use another book, I find it is more helpful to stick to one or two sources of information as there is so much out there, it can become quite confusing! Everyone has a technique that works for them and through a process of trial and error, you will figure yours out :).
I began my learning about Sourdough in the middle of winter and if you follow me on instagram, you will have seen it wasn't a arduous journey haha it was stressful and frustrating but when I finally started seeing the desired results, it was so satisfying! The price of a loaf makes so much sense after you have a go at making one yourself.
The Picnic Basket
Summer is hanging on but who knows how much longer we've got to enjoy it. I love picnics. They're one of my favourite parts of the summer, so I've compiled a virtual Picnic Basket for you. It's a collection of picnic friendly recipes with everything from salad to doughnut muffins.
Halloumi Fajitas
This is another one of those recipes that has been under my belt for a while now. Before you jump the gun and think "fajitas are easy to make, why are you bothering to post a recipe?!" Well, I am pretty sure you haven't had them like this before...pretty sure. What did the cheese say when she saw herself in the mirror?
