My spelt and sweet potato master recipe sourdough in action...(from this weekends group bake)

These doughs are made using the spelt and sweet potato master recipe loaf recipe from my new book... I used this recipe in a mass group bake this weekend but having recorded the doughs and outcome I thought I’d share it here too..

I love your excitement. ❤

@@suel4269 thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We can hear the bubbles when you turn the dough, sounds lovely. Glorious loaves as usual. I really doubt there would ever be another starter in the world like yours. I have starter envy every time I watch you play with your doughs’ . Your excitement gets me, like it’s your first time with all your bakes. Be Blessed Elaine. 💕💐

You can hear the life in it! Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

Belle Jour I agree! It’s a lovely dough 🥰

@@foodbodSourdough This may be more than you wanted to know, but I come from a little town in North Carolina, US, that is known for sweet potatoes! I love them! I am definitely trying this one out!

Belle Jour how fabulous, lucky you!!

Amazingly beautiful loaves... I just got me some sweet potatoes yesterday so I'm going to try it... lovely, lovely loaves 🥰

Omg that’s a thing of beauty ❤️ PS I’m so excited - I’ve just ordered your book. 👍🏻

[@foodbodSourdough]

Thank you so so much 🙏🏻☺️☺️☺️

[@heidemariefiegl6082]

I love your recipes and the easy way of preparing them. Now, finally, I have also ordered your book - I am really looking forward to my first attempts at baking it up. In Austria we have completely different flours - what do you think I should pay particular attention to in order to be able to successfully bake your recipes?

[@foodbodSourdough]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope you enjoy it. I would suggest trying my master recipe exactly as it is and see how your standard bread flour behaves and we can go from there..?

[@heidemariefiegl6082]

Thank you for your quick answer - I'm currently in the trial phase👍👍

Hi Elaine, I am enjoying trying out your recipes from the book. Have made some wonderful loaves. How would you scale up the Almond Raisin and Spelt Baby Master? Made it today and it's wonderful. I also added a handful of toasted sliced almonds. Greetings from Ontario Canada!

[@foodbodSourdough]

Sylvia Dunham ooh lovely, thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 xx To scale up baby master loaves to full size loaves multiply everything by 1.67 👍🏻

[@michaelhedges41070]

Shops haven't got any white spelt flour near me but I've got wholemeal spelt will that do thanks

[@twinfin8571]

So. Are these pans 5 and 3 quart pans? It’s hard to order a “big” or “little” pan on amazon. Lol.

[@foodbodSourdough]

The large one I use is 26cm diameter, the smaller one is 20cm. We don’t use quart measurements here

[@twinfin8571]

@@foodbodSourdough . Thank you. Perhaps it would help more to know how many cm deep. I make your master recipe in cast iron now but in my 70’s that’s becoming too heavy to take out of the oven. The bread turns out beautiful every time.

[@foodbodSourdough]

@@twinfin8571 if you look up Falcon enamel pans these diameters are standard sizes with only one possible depth. They tend to be around 12-13cm deep with the lid on. In the US a granite ware pans are the best alternative.

[@foodbodSourdough]

@@twinfin8571 and yes, they’re much much lighter!

[@twinfin8571]

@@foodbodSourdough thanks again. I think the granite is the one I looked at but I’ll check out your other suggestion. I haven’t had any problems following your recipe and everything turns out very delicious. But my old, large, hot cast iron is no longer a good idea for me to lift from the oven anymore. It’ll be fine for stovetop or something that can sit in it till it cools down.

[@sgk1234]

What's the size of the small loaf pan used here

[@foodbodSourdough]

savitha kulkarni it’s 20cm diameter

[@laurademarrais3248]

Hi Elaine, when is the right time you add sweet potato?

[@foodbodSourdough]

I add it right at the start of making my dough

[@arlitariam.s2586]

@@foodbodSourdough so you add the sweet potatoes and others just all in one bowl? Again thanks for sharing!
