My version of a country sour. 50% whole wheat (30% joaquin oro from Eck Farms / 20% CM khorasan) and 50% CM ABC+. Hydration around 83%ish. Usually I like to keep my country at 40% ww but I wanted to push the Joaquin Oro a bit more to see how the dough would hold up using a new-to-me grain. Worked out wonderfully! I'll probably hold back on the H20 a touch though, not quite as thirsty as the local Hollis or CM Yecoro Rojo I had been using.

Stoked to try some new red from Eck Farms in next week's bake.

Nettle garlic scape for the weekend bakeI love this bread but I only have a little bit of dried nettles left so maybe one more round in a few weeks but that'll be it for the season.

Heads up I won't be at Farmer's Mkt for a couple weeks as I need to finish up the buildout at the cafe so I can HOPEFULLY open this October for some soft opening popups. I'll update here with any more market announcements.

Have a great weekend everyone and be good to each other!

Well I finally found the perfect purple accessory to wear after receiving my purple belt in jiu-jitsu this summer. Most people just buy a purple rash guard or gi, but I feel this is just so much more personal.

This post is just to head off all the questions I'll get at market this week and the looks I've already received. Yes I got my face smashed training jiu-jitsu but it was an accident, and my face paid the price. It's ok I love this isht, can't wait to get back on the mat.

Pretty stoked with today's country loaves and honestly I'm just happy to be focusing on baking and trying not to stress too much today about getting the shop opened. This is a 50% whole wheat (Hollis/Khorasan) and 50% CM ABC+ at 85 % hydration. Prolly coulda gone closer to 90% but I didn't want to press my luck tooooo much. Alveoli is a little wild in the middle but that's ok with me. Pulling a 50% ww looking like a white flour bake has me wondering how high I can go? 🤷‍♂️💪

Thanks everyone for coming out to market today and selling me out, but unfortunately I won't be at market next week. Enjoy your day out there everyone, see ya soon!

Subbed khorasan in for hard white and the dough was very happy, might stick with this blend for a bit.
