More sourdough fun

Tried a sun-dried tomato and fennel seed sourdough, turned out very well.  I used the Lidl semi-dried tomatoes rather than from a jar in oil, as I wasn't sure how the oil would affect the dough.

Tastes great, I used a slightly different kneading method.  40 minutes autolysis, then once an hour, 20-25 folds, while rotating the bowel for 6 hours, then overnight in fridge, then baked it until a bowel for 25 mins on full gas 8, then 20 minutes uncovered at gas mark 6.

sourdough pizza and a bit of Spanish

We got a delivery from one of favourite restaurants in Malaga Tapeo de Cervantes with wine, olive oil, cheeses and meats:

While not cheap, absolutely fantastic quality and really tasted of great Spanish tapas.

As my sourdough bread is doing well I decided to try both a sourdough pizza and the frying pan / grill method of cooking, done it twice now and have to say they have been the best pizzas I've made.  I followed Patrick Ryan's recipe, I made the sauce from ingredients from the Italian Ripasso delivery and got the mozzarella from our local cafe in Swords, Cafe Tara. 

First Batch: margherita, neapolitan, ham

Second batch: margherita, chilli beef, tuna, peppers and red onion and ham / salami

Then I made some apple and pecan muffins this morning :)
