I'm not a big fan of luxurious crumb shots or open

I'm not a big fan of luxurious crumb shots or open, airy holes in my bread...but folks have been asking. Most loaves look like this, more or less. Nothing special.

I find an even fermentation, depth of flavor, good texture, use of whole organic grains and a crusty crust more useful indicators of a successful GF loaf. Also, does it hold up in the fridge without drying out? Does it freeze well? And, of course, does it make good toast?

These are the things that keep me up at night.🤔

This is it.

I used to have time for sitting meditation. Morning and evening. Time for stretching. Time self-care. Now I am lucky to get 5 minutes every few days if my kid decides to sleep in a little longer. But then I could sleep in longer. The eternal question. Sleep always wins.

So this is it. This dough on my table. This dough in my hands. My mixer making that strange sound that I should probably look into. The birds outside the window. This breath I've just realized has been short and shallow. The oven heating up.

This is it. My new mantra. My new home. The same home, really. The same place. Same practice. Same present. Just different. I've never left. Just forgotten.

Back to basics, revisiting the foundational recipe

Back to basics, revisiting the foundational recipe for all my breads.

I am feeling drawn to 100% wholegrain loaves without any refined starches. There is already less than 25% starch content in the recipe now, but with some new techniques I think the same results can be achieved.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with using starches, and a little goes a long way to help gluten-free products lighten up and rise well.

It's just...they don't inspire me. I can't feel the grains in my hand, I don't have the satisfaction of milling it myself or feel a connection to the land when I add them to my mixing bowl.

It feels like revisiting what good gluten-free bread actually is.

There seems to be a trend to make GF bread look like its glutenous counterpart, big airy holes, big rise, fancy decorative scoring...all good, and I play my part in that dance. But I am also weary of sacrificing nutrition and wellness to make GF grains do something they really aren't designed to do.

Finding the balance between what is natural, what actually nourishes us, what is fun to make and what tastes good...food for thought.

@chocolateodyssey + @homesteadoven = gluten-free chocolate sourdough cinnamon buns!

My only complaint? Needs more chocolate!
