Experimenting with marketing and selling the bread. Gotta pay for supplies…
The starters (whole wheat, rye & white sourdoughs):

Had a hankering for some classic jewish deli rye, so I figured I might as well add that to my repertoire. Or at the very least, start the experimentation process. Who knew that pickle juice is a main ingredient?
My second successful sourdough bread from the starter. I am on a roll. It is super yum, and has a less dense consistency than the dry yeast boulé. Of course there is also a slight sour taste, but it could be more sour.

In December, I decided to (finally) use a gift card I had for a cooking class at The Gourmandise School in Santa Monica.
Simple dry yeast Rustic Boule, thanks to this recipe from The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook.
