TGSE: Day Ten, kinda


pugliese, so pretty

OK, I missed posting last night because my bread wasn't done till about 1am and so I couldn't try it until this morning. I made pugliese with the sourdough starter. It was great! Of course, it was spiked with a little commerical yeast, so it was big and fluffy. The pumpernickel was my favorite, so moist and chewy. I will definitely work that into my routine. I still want to try regular sourdough and get it right. I also want to try some of The Bread Bible sourdoughs. But I just don't have the time right now. Maybe I'll wake up my starter again after the holidays. Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Pretty! Did you have to use Durum flour to make the pugliese?

Hi Jess - The recipe said to use a 50-50 blend of fancy durum flour and bread flour. I didn't have any, so I used semolina, which the book said was an ok sub but only to use 1/3 of the volume. So I used 2oz semolina and 8oz halbweismehl with 2 tsp vital wheat gluten. I'll post the whole recipe when I get some time. I wonder if durum flour is hard to find here - I haven't needed it before.

Ok cool. I really wanted to try that recipe from the bread bible but it called for durum flour, and i could not find it anywhere. Its good to know that i can use semolina flour.
