I had part of a bag of Allinson's blended Einkorn flour left which went part way to making this week's bread baking event. It got further blended with some plain strong flour and also some golden linseeds which were part ground in the 'coffee grinder'. Sadly no notes were taken at the time, and no repeats of this delicious loaf is possible. The Allinson's flour worked very well both neat and blended, but it is no longer available at my local Morrisons, I feel that either a bag from Shipton Mill or Dove's Farm Einkorn flour blended at home with some strong flour would do just as well. The flavour of Einkorn bread is rich and delicious.
With the cooler weather I will need to shift the timings. When it is warm it is possible to do a refresh the night before, and get the whole sourdough process done in one day, but this week, the bread was slower, and didn't go into the oven till 10:15 pm, and hence had to cool under a cloth as it would need a few hours to cool and I was ready for bed. I love this old linen huckaback cloth, and here they are in the morning 'undressed'. The larger loaf went into the bread bin, and the two smaller loaves were frozen.
