The Sweetness of getting Sourdough Right

The sun was just peeking over the trees in Smith St at 8am on Saturday morning as we headed to the market.

Yesterday's weather for the market was glorious. We had expected wind and although it started off chilly, it was bright and sunny.

I love it when flowers come down from the mountain and I'm asked to "show" them. Happily someone had brought me a batch of jars, my neighbour had water and voila a vase of flowers gracing the fully stocked marmalade and preserve stand. Out of which I sold 11 units, seven of which were marmalade. The lime marmalade is sold out until I next can get limes. Likely to be May or June 2022.

Sweet sourdough exploits

After nearly three weeks of spamming you with my bread exploits. I am learning how to better knead and shape my loaves. I am getting there.

I have found the best receptacle in which to prove them (in the fridge) overnight and how to get them to keep their shape.

This batch also sold out.

This week the rolls were almost picture perfect and I was happy to bring a few home for the freezer and for the week ahead.

I am glad about that because it's shaping up to a busy-ish one.

Until next , be well
