Could be if it had a full beard and glasses. I do have multiple walking sticks.

It really does make up a nice summery type dessert. Don't forget the lemon zest, it really makes a difference! It takes about 3 fresh lemons to get the zest and juice needed.

cool, thanks!

I have had CRS since back in my 40s. I destroyed my short term memory by taking 12 hour allergy pills every 3 or 4 hours. That was before they made non drowsy allergy pills.

I take an allergy pill once a day. My memory sucks. I hope it’s not because of them.

Nah, I take an allergy pill once a day now plus generic flonase because of the Russian Olives blooming.

I made the champlain sourdough bread recipe 25% bigger and will post the new recipe below.

This is the bread in the proofer box ready to bake

Scored and ready for the dutch oven

In the dutch oven

Baked

After a couple of slices

Recipe:

Champlain Sourdough Bread large

Ingredients

380g water
487g Bread flour (I used AP flour)
48g Whole spelt flour
24g Whole Rye Flour
63g Fed Starter at 100% hydration(fed half and half water and flour)
13g salt

Premix all ingredients at 9pm the night before baking bread. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave out overnight.

Replenish the starter and leave out overnight and return to refrigerator in the morning.
The next morning make the first fold at 7am (or when you get up)

look up the folding technique on you tube.

Let rest 30 minutes and then fold again. Fold every 30 minutes two more times and then shape into a ball using flour to keep the dough from sticking. Place the ball on the floured board and pull towards you from the bottom. Turn and repeat to increase surface tension on the ball.

Put the ball into a basket or a floured tea towel lined medium bowl with the seam side up. Let raise 1 to two hours until risen—should see a bubble or two on the outside of the dough.

Preheat Dutch oven with lid in 450-degree oven.

Cut a rectangle of parchment paper. When dough is risen, pour out onto the parchment paper. Make slashes. Take Dutch Oven out and carefully put the dough into the pan. Cover with lid and put back into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove Dutch oven and move bread to a cool cookie sheet. Put back into the oven to let the outside crisp up—5 to 10 minutes

Cool on rack for an hour before slicing

Are you going to update the spreadsheet with a link to this version?

I got my spelt flour from Bob, a very generous 3 pounds of it!!!!! But I can't use it until DD1 and her BF head to VA on ... well I don't know when. Apparently it depends on how much craziness happens on/after July 4th.
