Comments on: High-Extraction Miche http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/01/high-extraction-miche/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:23:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Jane http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/01/high-extraction-miche/#comment-3452 Jane Sat, 24 May 2008 13:12:02 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/01/high-extraction-miche/#comment-3452 In proper French it means "large round bread", in slang it means "butt" or "bum". Nice! Anyway, I will try out your checkered butt replacing the high-extraction with T110. I use it a lot because it gives a wonderful taste and texture to bread. I haven't tried a "levain bread" with these types of builds. I've been scared off them because of a couple of breads I did on a three day timing that turned out not that great. I found the flavor was lost. Strange! But, I will try again!! I'll let you know. Jane In proper French it means “large round bread”, in slang it means “butt” or “bum”. Nice!

My newly adapted frigid weather starter technique seems to be working well. Thank you for the suggestions. Have you had much experience with Spelt Flour?

Jeremy, I enjoyed listening to your interview with Daniel Leader. I'll bet the Swiss flour made excellent bread. Lewis, you are very kind. Thank you for reading. BZ, no book in my immediate future but I'm truly honored and happy that you enjoy my blog. Liz and Kim, mini-miche, yes of course. Since you will need to bake smaller loaves for a shorter time, you might want a little higher temperature to make sure you get the crust nice and dark. Hi Kellypea, thanks and welcome!

I placed an order for the Golden Buffalo flour a few day ago, will try your recipe. I also have same question as Liz, can I baked them into two smaller loaves? Thanks Susan

Will definitely try this one out. I do have some Golden Buffalo, which is one of my favorite flours. Also, recently purchased a grain mill and was planning on trying to use a fine screened tamis to sift out the bran. This one may be for next weekend's bake. I know these are typically baked in large loaves, but do you think it could be baked in two smaller loaves? Le Pain Susan! Liz That’s my idea of bread. Will definitely try this one out.
