Any Home Bakers Here?

[cavemanrich]

Long shot. Anyone here ever used mead lees to bake bread?

I racked a gallon cyser today and started a 200g lees to 200 g ap flour starter. Will check tomorrow to see if it activates. If yes, I have a recipe that says:

• 400g rye flour
• 300g water
• 200g starter
• salt
Mix the water, flour and starter together. Mix every hour or so. Bake at 200° C for an hour.

Lots of play in those notes. Planning to allow it to double, form, 30 min rise, then bake at 400F. Hour seems long though. Any thoughts from the experienced bakers here?

Interesting recipe. It uses all rye flour. The Rye bread recipes I used, and there are some in the INDEX, only call for a partial portion of Rye flour. The rest of flour is wheat flour. (all-purpose,, bread flour,, whole wheat, and such)
For me,,, the Rye flour comes usually in small quantities, and is quite pricey as such.

What was your process? I'm trying to decide if I want to use my steam juicer or cook with water then strain. If you cooked with water and then strained, how much water to how many cups of berries?

If you click on that sentence I circled, (in your post.) it takes you to the site, and explains process of dehydrating, and so forth.

I made pumpkin puree, dried it and ground it to make the flour which is what you would have read if you had clicked on the link.

Thanks, guys, I see now. Don't know how I missed that being a link, thought it was just a heading. Doh!
