Apricot Pecan Earl Grey
As-baked, riff on a Ken Forkish recipe.
20% chopped apricot, soaked in Earl Grey tea, and drained (reserving liquid,) 15% lightly toasted chopped pecans. Set aside
70% bread flour, 20% whole wheat, 10% dark rye, 78% H2O (half the water is soaking liquid from the apricots). Mix to shaggy dough, then autolyze for 30 minutes,
2.4% NaCl, 0.7% instant yeast. Pinch and fold to combine. Rest 15 minutes or so to let the dough relax.
Fold in reserved apricots and pecans.
Overnight cold bulk ferment with one fold before bed.
Shape and counter proof 75 minutes.
Preheat oven, Dutch oven, and 2 burner skillet to 230
Boule in Dutch oven, batards on a sheet pan on skillet in oven. Turn oven down to 215 for 25 minutes.
Rotate batards, remove lid from Dutch oven.
Batards done after 55 minutes total, boule to more like 70 minutes total.
En guete!
Happy pancake day!

Somebody got breakfast at our bird feeder today.
Immature Sharp Shinned or Cooper's would be my guess, but Merlin seems convinced it's a Merlin which would go on my life list.
Coastal New England.
Sweet potato roulade by a first time rouladier.
I was going for this https://youtu.be/PQOEjQ-vWvs
But I used turnip greens, scallions and pine nuts, and didn't listen when management said I was using too much filling.
Still some how tastier than a pile of mash next to a pile of greens.
As made as the bed is getting today
Pushing 90% depending on how you count the cave.
That's as made as the bed is going to get this morning.
85% well above average, and His Worshipfullness' pre-lunch nap was uninterrupted!
Well, that's as made as the bed is getting today.
I'm sorry that I interrupted your majesty's post breakfast nap.
