My Baking Adventure Part Two

Last weekend we made two different types of bread- whole meal bread and ciabatta. This time we used Biga ,a pre-ferment to add to the texture of the dough making it more airy and light.

My wholemeal bread after it has been sliced. You can see the air pockets inside and how the crumbs turned out.

The kids loved eating the sliced wholemeal bread more then ciabetta which that gave it a pass. I added garlic butter to it and made it into garlic ciabetta for lunch on Monday.

I can’t wait for the next lesson as we will be learning more about sourdough starters and how to make sourdough breads.
