This week's breads...
Hello,
This week I made some 100% Whole Wheat Sourdough Nut & Seed Torpedoes with walnuts, hazelnuts, flax, sesame & pumpkin seeds:
and Some Sourdough Whole Wheat bagels
I don't think I'd ever like the taste of non-sourdough bagels anymore!!! :)
Comments
I'd love to hear how you made these beauties!
The recipe was sort of adopted from The Walnut pain ou lavain from "Bread Alone".
I don't exactly remember.... as I like to just throw everything together and see what it turn out to be...
But I took... 1 1/2 cup wet starter
Added 1c water to it.
Mixed it up so it was a nice slurry. :)
Added a cup of WW flour and stirred it up.
Then roasted some nuts... Hazel & Walnuts.. and crushed them up about pea size... kept some whole...
And also roasted some flax, sesame, and pumpkin seeds.
All together about 1 1/2+ cups of seeds & nuts
Added all this to the dough...
Then I added more WW flour (I think a couple or more cups of flour, don't remeber) until it was firm and kneeded about 10-12 minutes until I could do the windowpane test... It was hard to get it good with all those seeds in the dough.
Let it rise for 4-5 hours... Then I shaped these into torpedoes... sort of following directions in Floyd 's video.
and let them rest again for 3hrs.. and baked them....
Though I think, i shouldn't have put both Walnuts and Hazelnuts together, as the Walnuts hide the taste of other nuts.
The Bagels are from the sourdough bagels recipe from "Crust & Crumb." though I used a cup of White Bread flour & the rest was WW.
They were really good.
