Baking bread is fun . It's one of my usual Sunday activities, the bread usually lasts the whole week.

I tend to stick to one formula and fine tune it over time. It all starts with my baby:

This is my yeast culture that I feed every night.

So what I do is basically a sourdough bread, and I use 2/3 white flour and 1/3 whole wheat flour, which works out nicely. The whole process takes a while (making a sponge, letting it sit overnight, mixing in the morning and after a few rises cooking at night) but it regularly turns out quite well:

(though in this case the very top got slightly burnt )

In fact, I'm baking some bread right now, usual recipe, though I've added a bunch of Lebanese olives to it.. Should turn out to be pretty good!
