Bread made June 21, 2002. Composition
was approx. 75% unbleached white flour, with the remainder a combination
of rye, whole wheat, and spelt. Only a small amount of (Carl's) starter
was used, and the rising was very slow. After overnight refridgeration,
the loaf appeared to not have risen much at all. However, a massive oven
spring ensued, and the resulting crumb had a fantastic texture with lots
of irregular holes. In addition to its striking appearance, the bread tasted
great! The third picture is a loaf made the next day, just to prove to
myself that the previous loaf was not an accident. It wasn't. It was nearly
identical to the previous loaf.
