  • 500 g bread flour
  • 350 g water
  • 100 g active starter
  • 10 g salt

Dark rye loaf

Two days, baked in a tin
  • 400 g whole rye flour
  • 350 g warm water
  • 150 g rye starter
  • 1 tbsp dark syrup, 8 g salt

Cardamom buns

Around 3 hours
  • 500 g flour, 250 ml milk
  • 80 g sugar, 75 g butter
  • 1 egg, 7 g dry yeast
  • 2 tsp freshly ground cardamom

This week's note

The kitchen has cooled down for autumn, so the bulk ferment now takes almost two hours longer. Instead of fighting it, I moved the dough on top of the fridge, which stays a few degrees warmer.
