Monday I was warmly welcomed at work with a gift of a 2\u00c2\u00a0 1\/2 kg\u00c2\u00a0 cotton sack of freshly milled, organic Red Fife wheat, a local variety that has been grown in Ontario since the 1840’s. This grain, originally brought over from the Ukraine, was successfully grown across the wheat belt of Canada until the early 1900’s when it was supplanted by other\u00c2\u00a0varietals. Renowned for heartiness, flavour and nutrition, Red Fife is experiencing a revival and is now sought after by artisan bakers. My first sponge is rising as I type this post. I look forward to feeling how this dough is to knead by hand and ultimately to savor its crust and crumb. Anson Mills <\/a>has some helpful information about working with this high gluten wheat. Thanks Lucas!<\/p>\n

More good feedback from my first sourdough bread baking workshop in Canada. Many kindergartens at the Toronto Waldorf School<\/a> are now using natural leavening processes to make more nutritious and digestible breads for the young children. This is such an exciting outcome from a one day workshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
