This summer, the Grains team had the pleasure of taking a Sour
dough 101 baking class with
Sarah Owens
, fermentation expert and baker extraordinaire
. Sarah focuses on baking with whole grains and heritage varieties of wheat. She is an ardent shopper at the
Grainstand
, always willing to work with new varieties as they have become available.
By the end of the class, we all left the 'Rockaway Castle' with heads full of sourdough wisdom, stomachs full of mezcal (another of Sarah's fermented obsessions), a baked loaf, and two loaves to stretch, fold, and rest at home in the next couple of days.

But the most notable gift was a small jar of sourdough starter. The illusive compound of flour and water, that when left to sit in the right conditions, will start to bubble, ferment, and transform into your "second stomach."Equal parts rye flour, water, and The Beast--Owens' personal starter she has been maintaining for five years now. She insists, however, that the age of a starter doesn't directly correlate to its health or flavor profile. Rather, every starter that has been well fed and maintained has the potential to produce a decidedly tasty loaf of bread.
Now, armed with a more profound understanding of what it means to bake with local flours (hint: they tend to ferment faster than commodity flours because they are fresh), our carefully detailed instructions, and the ultimate tool, our sourdough starter, the Grains team is eager for more bread baking journeys.

Recipe of the month- Rye and Cornmeal Muffins with Carraway
|
|
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup rye flour*
1 cup whole-wheat frederick flour*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup cornmeal*
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 eggs*
¼ cup sunflower oil*
2 tablespoons dark maple or honey*
1 ½ cups buttermilk*
*Ingredients available seasonally at your local Greenmarket
|
|
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack positioned in the upper third. Oil or butter muffin tins.
2. Sift together the rye and whole-wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the cornmeal and the caraway seeds.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, blackstrap molasses and buttermilk. Using a whisk or a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients, and mix until well combined. Do not beat; a few lumps are fine, but make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl.
4. Spoon into muffin cups, filling them to just below the top (about 4/5 full). Place in the oven, and bake 25 minutes until lightly browned and well risen.
