Comments on: World Bread Day, World Food Day, and a Recipe http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/16/world-bread-food-day/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:57:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Susan http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/16/world-bread-food-day/#comment-792 Susan Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:42:04 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/16/world-bread-food-day/#comment-792 Abbey, congratulations on your acquisition of a scale – you will not regret it. I hope the whole grain bread comes out beautifully for you. Many of my recipes are close adaptations of ones from books or classes I have taken. When this is the case, I mention the original source. The sweet potato-pumpkin seed bread I just kind of winged (wang? wung? wought?) but I realized later that Nancy Silverton's Pumpkin Bread from Breads from the La Brea Bakery also has sweet potato and pumpkin seeds. In fact, I have made that bread before, but I think I repressed the memory because I did not care for the bread's cumin flavor (unlike most of the recipes in that book, which are very good).

I just got the levain/soaker ready for your 98.4% whole grain bread--I've been anxious to try it but didn't have a scale that weighed in grams! But as of today, I am glad to say I do. You have so many unusual formulas for your breads--where do you get them? This one kind of reminds me of one of Nancy Silverton's. Susan,

I don't read German so I didn't realize that's what it was -- thank you Elizabeth for pointing that out. Zorra, thank you for once again organizing this event!

I've vaguely contemplated doing it myself but it always seems SO much easier to just go to the South American store at the market to buy pepitas. (I'm afraid I'm lazy and just put any fresh squash seeds we have into our composter.) Did you see Zorra's potato pumpkin seed bread she made for WBD? It looks similar to yours but calls for potato rather than sweet potato; it too looks delicious. -Elizabeth That’s how we buy pumpkin seeds too, Susan.

Tanna, here's to blessings! Elizabeth, yes, the shells have been removed from the seeds (I buy them that way, don't do it myself!) Natalie, you could just proof it for longer, probably 45 minutes or so, instead of retarding. k, thanks, pumpkin seeds are one of my favorite seeds and I always toast a few extra for a snack while I’m baking.

Look at the crumb! :D I am interested in making this, however my fridge doesn't have enough place for retarding the whole banneton, what should I do? Thanks! Awesome! Look at the crumb! :D

Thank you once again for your gentle but firm reminder to share the bounty. -Elizabeth P.S. I love the way the center slash on the unseeded loaf split open. P.P.S. Have the pumpkin seeds been husked?

I'm with you. I think there is always something new to try and learn and that really is a blessing. Even small things we do can help feed others. A truly beautiful loaf. I’m with you.
