More projects
Will be away for the weekend, so will be going through the 'baking withdrawal' for 3 days.
My latest project - to see if I can bake bread mid-week by mixing the dough and let it to rise slowly in the fridge while I'm at work.
Mixed 1 part rye, 1 part whole-wheat, 2 parts all-purpose flour. Left the dough in the fridge overnight. Kneaded the dough in the morning, left in the fridge until 6 pm. Came from work, took it out of the fridge, kneaded some more, shaped, let it rise, baked.
Here's the result
Not bad but the texture is too heavy. Maybe because it has a rye flour.
To console myself, baked some Russian dumplings with egg-and-green onion filling. They always turn out perfect and tasty.
