#homemade

I've recently started experimenting with some #homemade chilli relishes and sauces, chillis being one of the few things that grow well in my home soil. Today's creation is a #jalapeño and pineapple sauce made a variety called Lemon Spice. A little nervous considering I completely winged it on the measurements, but it smells amazing.

I've been baking sourdough bread for couple of years, but the results were far from great, highly inconsistent and I had rarely those fluffy loaves.

All the guides, even from the supportive bakers, mentioned mostly recipe and some tips that haven't influenced the result that much.

Until I ran into The Bread Code. Hendrik put enormous effort to make the sourdough baking crystal clear to everybody. His Sourdough Framework is a thorough and explanatory and makes you understand why, not only how. And the best - it is free!

Thanks to Hendrik I found two major issues:
- I was in impression that more hydration equals more fluffiness, that is nonsense.
- Timing is vital (when prepping starter and in bulk fermentation too).

I still haven't mastered it, but most of the results now tend to look like this latest approach.

So if you are not satisfied with your sourdough bread results, I highly recommend checking Hendrik's page and/or videos. And please make sure to support him if you find the materials valuable.
