Cinnamon Bread and Rye Sourdough

Two new projects, well; one new and one revisited this time.
The Cinnamon bread is for Millie, part of her breakfast menu, a vehicle for crispy bacon, maple syrup etc and here it is

Ready to bake.

Looks alright!

I took it down to Millie and Me and Sophie loved it, so I'm crossing my fingers for an order.

The revisited is Rye Sourdough, I used to do this for Oats, but stopped due to lack of demand. So I was pleased to get a request from them for a loaf as a special order.

As usual with sourdough, you need a bit of preparation, so I activated and fed my starter overnight,

Before

After, spot the bubbles.

and made the dough next morning, it needs six hours bulk proving,

Now it has to be shaped and left for a second rise.

After its doubled in size I can bake it.

And that was five hours later.

I also made a white bloomer for Alan, which went in at the same time.

and out again,

Also some Sourdough Croutons for soup/salad topping, flavoured with a touch of Balsamic.

Plus some dairy free teacakes (No Butter, Sunflower Oil instead)

 

 

Now its just the Soda Bread to do, it's half past six in the morning and I've nearly finished. Time to put the kettle on.
