Baked Brie & Duck


We are in France for the summer! My sister wanted to try baked Brie so I cooked it with duck (my favorite meat). The oven was being tricky so sadly my duck was a little over cooked and not medium rare, but still very tender to bite into!

Leaven that rested overnight 
Add 300g water to the Leaven and then mix till the leaven has dissolved into the water 
Add 310g bread flour and 80g whole wheat flour 
Mix in circular motion and then rest for 20 minutes! 
After 20 minutes sprinkle 8g of salt on dough and knead till combined 
Now let it rest for 3-4 hours while folding it every 30 minutes 
Dough after 3 1/2 hours I was going to scrape it out but forgot to take a photo so it looks a little disheveled lol 
Now flour your surface and scrape the dough out seam side up 
Fold it from right top corner and then do the left corner and repeat with the bottom 
Rest for 10-30 mins and then I forgot to take pics but fold it once again on a floured surface and put in bannetons and they’ll stay in the fridge for 8-24 hours 
Bread after 18 hours in the fridge I took it out and coated it with some sesame seeds 
Coating second loaf with sesame and chia seeds

Sourdough
Currently working with sourdough for the first time! It’s honestly thrilling and I’m excited to develop some break making skills!!

This is the starter it’s like your baby you have to feed it throughout the week and take good care of it! 💗😇 Right now I’m making a French Country Bread, so far it’s rising really nicely. I had to knead it by hand a few times and it shall rest for 12 hours or longer since it will be 12am by the time 12 hours has passed by ☹️.

Mix bread & whole wheat flours, water, and salt then knead 
The dough before I left it to rise earlier: I’ll update once they’ve risen more and hopefully they turn out beautiful and tasty!
