walkitoutYesterday, I set up the larger crock with some King Arther Special Patent and some bolted Turkey Red. I put the extra bran in the sourdough crock. I’ve been doing that lately, and it seems to work really well. Unexpectedly, it improved the structure. Make that make sense — I can’t.
This morning both doughs had risen to the top and had started to touch their lids. Hmmm! I got out the hamburger and hot dog bun pans, put flattened muffin cups on the hamburger circles and bacon greased the hot dog bun slots. After failing with a spoon, I used a quarter cup measure to scoop the white/bolted red wheat sourdough into the hamburger slots. I didn’t knead it, roll it out, run it through the stand mixer, nothing. Just got that slime into the spots, and cooked it at 400 for 15 minutes or so. Turned out great. I had three slots left when I ran out of dough on the hot dog pan, so I put some of the regular sourdough from the crock in there. Those didn’t rise much, and I undershot on the volume of dough so they’re all on the small side. But I slit one of the white/wheat ones open and toasted it and used it for a sausage for lunch and the crumb was great, the dough was springy and it was very light. I’m super happy with this approach. I had two of the regular sourdough (soft red with extra bran LOL) with PB and homemade marmalade for dinner.
I had a great call with J., however, by evening, I wasn’t feeling great and the slightly tippy feeling I’d been having started feeling like it was about to be full on vertigo so I went to bed for a couple hours. I got up for dinner (mentioned above), and did Duo and caught up on blogging. I’m going to crawl back into bed with a book in a few minutes. I’ve canceled my call with I. This could honestly just be weather related pressure changes messing with my inner ear; that has happened before. It could also be me being a little short on sleep. Or both. I took a covid test; negative. I also checked my temperature: 98.1 which is ever so slightly high for me. I guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow. It’s a pretty good time to catch something, and between T-weekend, and return to school post T-weekend, would not surprise me if A. and I have come down with something. She’s saying she’s extra tired, also.
I also made waffles. I cleaned the produce drawers in the fridge, since one was completely empty except one lime and there wasn’t that much in the other. R. went to the grocery store after, so we’re fully stocked. Also, there was a delivery from Lilac Hedge.
