I baked two Sourdough Honey Oat LARGE LOAVES
Saturday. Family visiting.

Aria,,,, I have used your recipe in the past,,,, but used yeast instead of sourdough starter. Bread came out DELICIOUS
My sourdough starter at that time was weak,, and the rise was insufficient to my liking. I have a new culture that I will start in near future. Some San Francisco version I purchased from Ebay.
Aria,,, you are the one that inspired me to use HONEY in my breads

I baked a Champlain loaf yesterday. I had it shaped and ready to put in the banneton batard basket when I noticed the basket had mold growing in it! I used a tea towel and larger bread pan which worked out just fine.
I think those long ferments with many hours in the fridge are just asking for trouble with a wicker basket. Or maybe I should have cleaned it once in a while and made sure it dried properly. Either way I’m not going to replace the basket real soon. My kitchen is crammed to the rafters and if I don’t need it I’m not replacing it. Hope everyone has a great day!

You can get clay bannetons….I saw them somewhere but don’t remember where. I need to find them again because I also want one….or two…..or ten…..

Man, that looks delicious! I need to make a jello poke cake.

Nice tips!

I should add that the towel was well floured with ap flour, the dough was rubbed down with white rice flour.

I missed dinner while hunting. It was a nice, big, meaty Black Tail Jackrabbit.

They are classified as predators here and can be taken.
Oh well, there will be others, I’m sure.

Thank you. If your Sourdough Starter is weak you
can add it and add 2 teaspoons of yeast. That will
work. The recipe always is easy to work. AND my family and I do love this recipe. I make two large
Tins. OR of course you can weigh and make smaller
loaves. Dough is so soft and easy to manage.
