40% hard white whole wheat, 20% whole durum, using my rye starter named Boris. I’m calling these my golden loafs; I simply love the golden color durum flour always gives bread. Obviously it adds great flavor, too!
I'm guessing a bunch of Dr. Rockso costumers:@leggo PE
^ Holy smackers. The hell kind of trick or treaters y'all get over there?
Not trick or treaters at all. 95 lbs of flour, two different types! My typical bread flour and my favorite whole wheat flour. The bag of the whole wheat flour actually got repurposed as my Halloween costume.@leggo PE

Sure did! All my bread (besides loafs that use a pan) currently get baked in my Dutch oven. But in the coming months, I’m gonna get a big upgrade because I bit the bullet and preordered a Fourneau Grande Bread Oven. Man, the thought of just being able to easily slide my dough into that bread oven, vs. my current method of scoring the loaf on parchment on a pizza peel, which I then place atop my screaming hot preheated Dutch oven, centering the loaf as best I can, carefully grasping the edge of the parchment round and whipping out the pizza peel from underneath to have the dough drop hopefully straight down into the dutch oven, is a HUGE upgrade to me. I’ve actually gotten really good at my pizza peel Dutch oven maneuver, and it’s always exciting, but it’s the kind of excitement I could go without in my bread baking. Ha!Did you use a Dutch oven for this?
You should get a Dutch oven. It’s hugely beneficial for bread, soup, beans, making yogurt, basically anything you need a heavy bottomed pot for!I don't have a Dutch oven. I basically put the dough in a bread pan and put it in the oven that way. Looks nice, tastes good, but I don't get that crisp crust I see in your photos. I guess that's good in a way though, because my wife and son prefer the more "chewy" crust. I would prefer the crisper crust.
I am in favor of anything that lets engineers quit their day job!Guys and gals, should I open up a bagel shop??

These are by far my best looking, and equally great tasting, bagels yet! I actually made 10, but neglected to take a photo until after two were already eaten.
I've never had fresh homemade bagels. What's the best way to eat? Butter, cream cheese, jam?Guys and gals, should I open up a bagel shop??
