Dark Rye Bread

It is time for some new types of bread. This one has a higher sourdough portion which results in a dense consistency and more tangy and intense taste. The taste is good, but shaping it was a pain. It might be a good beginners bread though if you do use a bread baking form to bake it in.

Spiced Bread (with 23c timetable)

Winter is coming and I do feel the urge to step up my baking game again. To do so I want to get a better feeling of fermentation times in relation to room temperatures by writing down the timetables for the baked loafs. This one I spiced with anise, caraway and coriander.

Fast Focaccia

Sourdough is inferior to any yeast based dough. Period. And while this does hold true for focaccia, I do make yeast based variants more often than I would like to admin. It is super easy and one of my feel good meals if I want some bread based meal fast.

Bread Shaping

Bread shaping is an important step between bulk fermentation and proofing when baking sourdough bread. It was one, if not the most neglected step in bread baking on mine for nearly a decade. Though shaping your bread correctly can really up your game if done right.

Potato Walnut Rye Bread

This bread is heavily inspired by a German cooking blog. Usually I do not follow recipes that closely but rather figure them out by trial and error. Though this potato walnut bread did sound very interesting and was far from what I usually bake. So I had to try it.

Onion Bread

I used to make onion bread quite a lot during the first years of my studies. However, I somehow forgot about this type of bread until recently. Back then I used to mostly bake with yeast, though the taste is even better with a sourdough base.

Cinnamon Rolls

My favorite vegan pastry. In general I always prefer the vegetarian ingredients as butter and milk over their vegan counterparts. This recipe however, thanks to tons of sugar and cinnamon, is one where the difference in taste is barely noticeable, even in a side by side comparison.

Apple Cake

This is an amazing apple cake with a very high fruit content. It is very easy to make and does not take a lot of time. Heads up, the ingredient list is correct, so if (when) you come to that point where you ask yourself if you misread something as you have way too less dough for the amount of apples, just have faith and go along. Ps: thanks for the recipe Denize.

Grain Mix Sourdough Bread

This bread is one of the main reasons why I started to write down recipes. This type of bread is not that forgiving and it did took me dozens of iterations and a ton and tweaking to get it perfect. Of course I did not write any notes down and half a year later I realized I can start from square one again.
