Welcome to this week’s Open Thread. I thought we should use this week to talk about our bread successes. Tell us about your favorite loaves, your go-to breads, the ones that you have mastered and are now in regular rotation.
I’m asking in part because I’m looking for a little inspiration myself. I haven’t baked a proper loaf of sourdough bread in awhile now (I’ve been busy making rye-based cookies for an Edible Boston story), and I want motivation to get back at it. You of course are welcome to share your enthusiasm for the recipes I’ve posted here, but I’d also love to hear about loaves from others or of your own invention.
Looking forward to hearing about your faves!

Ps. While I will provide prompts for each week’s open thread, you should not feel obligated to stick to the theme. “Open” means just that: feel free to share or ask whatever you like here.
so pretty
my heavy rotation loaves; Melissa Funk Weller's Multigrain from A Good Bake book and a Sourdough Oatmeal from BreadExperience.com. I am looking forward to those rye biscoff.
and thanks for your work.
Last week I made a loaf that DIDNT have a scald and it left me sad. I’ve come to adore and experiment with scalds because of their added flavor as well as extending the life of the loaf. Next week I’m revisiting the scald life with either a teff or buckwheat the added nutty notes of these flours are my kinda fall vibes my taste buds are craving.
