For a long time I have received requests to provide translations of my book, and for a long time I have avoided the issue by simply stating that I do hope to provide them one of these days. While that was absolutely true, the fact is that I really didn’t know how to go about…
Underfermentation (Instagram Recap # 6)
So this series of posts focuses on the problem of underfermentation (for more info on these recaps please see this post). And a rampant problem it is. By my own observation this seems to be the most common problem for those bakers new to sourdough. It was a problem that I suffered myself back when…
Bulk Fermentation (Instagram Recap # 5)
This Instagram Recap is a compilation of posts I made way back in December and January of 2018/2019 (see this post for more info about these recaps). I made a 10 part series focused on the importance of bulk fermentation and its role in the structural development of a dough. It seemed to me at…
Delayed Fermentation (Instagram Recap # 4)
For this recap (see this post for more info on Instagram Recaps) I’ve consolidated 6 posts that I made back in January of 2020. They were centered on the topic of delayed fermentation. That’s not some sort of technical baker’s term or anything, it’s just the term I use when describing fermentation methods specifically designed…
Wholegrain Compilation (Instagram Recap # 3)
It’s true that I’m not particularly known for my wholegrain breads — and that’s mostly my own fault for never discussing them much — but I do actually know a thing or two about them. Having spent 15+ years as a professional baker, I’ve made more than my fair share of wholegrain breads. But I’ve…
All About Folds (Instagram Recap # 2)
This recap is for a series of 16 Instagram posts that I wrote from late August to mid-September of 2021. And yes, as you might have guessed, they happened to focus on the topic of folding dough. The series turned out to be much longer than I had originally anticipated, and so by extension, this…
Shape, Height and Volume (Instagram Recap # 1)
I thought I might try something a little different here. Those of you who were familiar with my old website “Breadwerx” know that I let it go rather neglected in the last few years of its existence (see this post for more info). But though I may not have been posting content to my blog,…
Open Crumb Mastery, 2nd Edition (With “Forward”)
Okay, I know this is long overdue. Almost comically so. But hey, better late than never, right? Right? The original edition of “Open Crumb Mastery” was published in November of 2017, and the second edition was published in July of 2019 — almost 2 years later. But I never did write a post about the…
Hi Folks, I Know It’s Been Awhile . . .
So welcome to my new website! As many of you already know, Breadwerx has been offline for some time now. I don’t want to bore you with details, but I feel like I should at least provide you with a brief explanation of what’s been going on. Basically, my old website had suffered from neglect…
Holiday Cranberry Sourdough [Video]
(Originally Published on December 2, 2017ย byย Trevor Wilson) I love cranberry bread. Especially sourdough cranberry bread. I love it in all its glorious variations: cranberry walnut, cranberry pecan, cranberry raisin, cranberry pumpkin seed, cranberry poppy, spiced cranberry, etc. But mostly, I just love plain โol cranberry the best. Simple and delicious. I make this bread every…
