Baking Leonardough Dough'Vinci & Breadna Mode

Main @a-welsh-spoonie . This is where I share what I bake with my sourdough starters Leonardough Dough'Vinci(standard starter) and Breadna Mode(stiff starter)

I hate that sourdough has such an overlap with conservatives and tradwives. Just know that every time I bake bread I’m doing it in a gay, transgender, FDT, vaccine loving way. And also maybe I get a slight boner at the sight of fresh bread but don’t worry about that

Hit PEAK Welsh

I have officially hit peak Welshness recently. I have been asked to bake welsh cakes for my brother's civil partnership party.

Because of this, I won't be doing much sourdough baking until september, because I need to spend the next couple of months perfecting the recipe and planning logistics of travelling with a stack of baked goods.

I'll post welsh cakes, and any sourdough bakes I do manage to fit into the schedule.

What recipe do you use for your sourdough discard cookies, or is there one? I looked but couldn't find anything if you already mentioned it, I don't know if that's Tumblr or me. Hungrily yours; cookie craving Tumblr user.

Hello pun-buns!

I'm not sure I've ever shared the cookie recipe, my bad if it turns out I haven't.

Anyway, here it is: https://littlespoonfarm.com/sourdough-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/#recipe

I do tweek it slightly, I have the oven about 10°c cooler than the recipe, and we love putting a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before they go in the oven. I recommend making them smaller than the recipe says if you want cookies that are smaller than xxl. I make them about half the size and bake for 12 minutes, and they turn out great. I also change the chocolate for the family favourite, Tony's Chocolonely salted caramel, and put in about 60g extra, which equates to two 180g bars, but the chocolate is totally personal preference and you can do whatever you want. Funnily enough, though, the change of chocolate actually makes it lower carbs, which is great for the diabetic in the house who absolutely loves these cookies.

Thanks for the ask. I'm always happy to answer questions, share recipes, and talk about anything sourdough.

Last loaf got demolished, so I'm making another one. This one I'm making with the discard I had in the back of the fridge.

Loaf is going great.

Used up the 130g if starter from the fridge, and the loaf fermented in six hours, which is a reasonable time even when using fed starter.

Ended up using mostly plain/all-purpose flour because I only had about 20g of bread flour. Also used 20% spelt flour for flavour and a little extra nutrients.

I'll be baking up Breadna once I get home this evening.

[a-welsh-spoonie]

After 40 hours in the fridge, and 19 hours after I intended, Breadna is finally in the oven.

We'll see the final results in a few hours after it has baked and cooled.

This week's loaf

A delicious plain loaf. I just had a slice as an afternoon snack, and it is one of the best loaves I've ever made. It came out a little darker than expected because I forgot to turn the oven down for the 10 minutes with the lid off, but other than that, it came out near perfect.

I never posted the results of the Nutella loaf, so here it is

Delicious and very filling. The execution was good enough, but not quite right, if I make it again, I'll be making a few tweaks.

Birthday Baking

It's my brothers birthday at the weekend, so I'm baking for the next couple of days in preparation.

On the menu is Nutella swirl loaf, and sourdough discard cookies with chunks of Tony's Chocolonely salted caramel chocolate.

I've started on the bread dough, and will probably make the cookie dough later tonight.

[a-welsh-spoonie]

Just had a lovely little nap while Breadna is fermenting, and I still have time before she's ready.

I love that sourdough is a process that allows me to take naps when I need them.

[baking-with-leo-and-breadna]

Breadna is Nutella filled. She's a bit of a mess, but she'll be delicious. She's now sleeping in the fridge for the night.

Time to have a cup of tea, put my feet up for a while, and then get on to the cookie dough.

[baking-with-leo-and-breadna]

Leonardough cookie dough is made and in the fridge for the night.

Just got to wipe down the work surfaces, and then I can go to bed.

Lots of time in front of the oven tomorrow.

Wensleydale and mozzarella loaf is in the oven. Vet much looking forward to tasting it in a couple of hours.

[baking-with-leo-and-breadna]

Looks beautiful

Smells amazing

[baking-with-leo-and-breadna]

Look at her!

She's beautiful, soft, and oh so cheesy. She made a lovely afternoon snack with some kimchi.
