Following are a few pictures from Baking School, Week 2

Week 2 was almost exclusively sourdough.  Each of the breads had some sourdough culture mixed in.

   
Starting with something I don't usually make: Anis and candied citron, then coated in butter and dipped into sugar....
Interior crumb of a baguette
Center loaves are baguettes cut as shown below to resemble wheat grain (epis, in french)
Cuting epis
Whole wheat bread, shaped as triangles, for something different.  I renamed the shape "bicycle seats".
Yes, hamburger buns.  But really good hamburger buns.
Ciabatta.  A great bread.  And I've been making it completely wrong for years...

Ciabatta cut open, showing the huge holes.
My production from "graduation day".  Olive bread, walnut/raisin, exotic bread shapes, and in the back are large baguettes made from our sourdough culture that we started from scratch on Monday and handmixed in the morning.
Walnut-raisin
May be my favorite bread now... multi-grain with sesame
Semolina bread, twisted and coated with poppy seeds
Whole-wheat boules and multi-grain
A huge "fougasse" which Jeff made...
Multi-grain, semolina, whole wheat bicycle seats, and rye batards
A sourdough experiment.  Same size loaves when begun, but left loaf is higher acidity and lower volume.
