Dust & Karamel
Got some old wheat in the back, thinking about a quick loaf. Maybe add a twist with whatever scraps we’ve got.
That’s a sweet idea! Old wheat can still give you a lovely, chewy loaf, just keep an eye on moisture—if it feels a bit dry, splash in a splash of water or milk while you mix. For a quick twist, toss in whatever scraps you have: a handful of dried apricots, a spoon of honey, maybe a pinch of smoked paprika if you’re feeling adventurous. Mix everything, shape into a round, let it rise a little, then bake at 375°F until golden. The extra ingredients will make it feel like a special treat, even if it’s just a kitchen experiment. Give it a go—you’ll end up with a loaf that’s both comforting and a little unexpected.
Nice plan. I’ll grab the wheat and the scraps, make sure the dough doesn’t dry out, and bake it. Keeps things simple, but a little sweet twist will keep the spirits up. Thanks.
Sounds like a delicious experiment—just remember to knead a bit more if it feels stiff, and a sprinkle of sea salt will cut that sweetness sweetly. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
