Akemi is back to baking bread – this time using the 100 year old starter sourced by Robert Cooper (off Etsy), a starter his daughter named Breadley Cooper.
After all the feeding, kneading, stretching and folding, she was finally able to bake!
And voila! Our oven does a better job of cooking from the bottom than from the top so Akemi was disappointed her bread wasn’t crustier, but I thought it turned out great. I mean, listen to the sound of that dull bread knife cutting through the crust…
We enjoyed it with some farmer’s market butter, varied olive oils, sea salt, and a 15 year old balsamic.
Rob gave us enough starter to share with our neighbor Ivon – who passed in favor of a subscription to the Bread of the Month club. And so, the following week, Akemi was at it again…
Success!
Then, she turned her focus to dumplings…
Equally delicious.
