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.

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.

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.

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

Replenishing my dried starter supplies

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.

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.
