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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
(Originally Published on December 2, 2017 by 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 ‘ol cranberry the best. Simple and delicious. I make this bread every…
(Originally Published on November 11, 2017 by Trevor Wilson) Hey folks. So . . . I know it’s been quite a while since I last posted anything. I apologize for my long absence, and for all the unanswered comments and emails left in my wake — I am sorry for the neglect. Truly. I have no good excuse. We’re…
(Originally Published on December 7, 2016 by Trevor Wilson) That’s right, today we’re making pan bread. Just plain ‘ol pan bread. I know that many of us started baking at home so that we could escape the tyranny of pan bread. But I tell ya what, I love a good pan loaf. It doesn’t even have to be fancy…
(Originally Published on November 1, 2016 by Trevor Wilson) Baguettes can be a tricky thing. On the surface they seem like a fairly simple bread to make — and they are. But that’s the problem. It’s often the simplest things that are the most difficult to perfect. Simple does not necessarily equate to easy. Mixing a smooth…
