Hi Everyone, hoping you are enjoying the holiday season. Out here in Southern Australia, it’s been a mild-heat with late rain so far. This has helped fill our rainwater tanks so we are better able to cope with summer. As a way of stopping to think about my latest story and let in all those new ideas, I’ve been baking some bread. Today I grabbed some German Grain bread mix from the local supermarket and tried to create a hearty cob loaf. It is filled with generous grains made to an old Barossa German traditional mix recipe. I used my dutch oven, treating it as if it was a sourdough mix when it wasn’t but hoping to get that chewy crust. Tapping on it, it sounds right, and it certainly smells great and I don’t think I overcooked it. Tomorrow morning will tell. Breakfast with fresh home laid eggs should be a great start to set me up to almost finish my current work in progress.
Hoping everyone is doing well over the break (southern hemisphere break here or wherever you are in the world) and I hope you are coping with your weather and enjoying time with family and or friends.
