She fires up the wood oven about once a month for bread and does 6-8 loaves. She's having to run multiple batches in her Bosch, so she's looking at a 6-10 litre mixer. She also was born in Sweden, so I think she'll be partial to the Ankarsrum mixer that is made in her mother country. It's stated capacity is about seven quarts, which holds about ten lbs of dough.
Yes those Ankarsrum look fantastic. About 50% more than the equivalent Kitchen Aid but over the years of service that amounts moth dust.
I wonder if this will be good. This took maybe 10 minutes this morning . . . Was a long day for other stuff so even less effort today . . straight into a loaf pan. 30-35 minutes in the oven. We will have a slice tomorrow.
I had to come back to this post. I say with heartfelt honesty that this is one of my favorite posts. Certainly not because you've lost your oven, I'm truly sorry for that; but because you've acknowledged an obstacle and plotted your course around it. You are an artisan. You found a way.
Right.
Last night's soup was chicken noodle. Something about soup and bread on cold winter nights.
Came out well. Especially given the lack of effort. Made fantastic toast for breakfast.
Two loaves of Sourdough
60% Strong Flour
40% Whole Wheat

Bit of a twist today: Honey wheat. Wheat berries ground in the Vitamix, then hand sifted. The honey ... well ... probably best left for an entirely different thread 
Gorgeous loaf Matt.
I've been heading the simpler direction just now. This I mixed at 10pm. Put it in a loaf pan around 8am and into the oven on my morning break around 10 AM. Results with the no-kneed seem to be improving.

Can’t believe I’ve missed this thread. This year has been a big bread year for the family.
The boys (4&6) help me make bread for our Sunday roast every week. Really simple recipe and you throw everything into a ziploc bag so the kids can mix/shake it up and not get messy.
Here’s a few examples of our bread. Some weeks we make cool designs on them.

This week's sandwich loaf.
Made some sourdough yesterday. Half of one boule was eaten while still warm. Little more dense than normal, but the flavor was spot on. I got caught up playing legos with the kids and accidentally let the dough overproof which I think accounted for the extra density.
A bit of a race . . .
My wife thought she made a mess. She came across my starter in the fridge and the top had popped off. So I stirred it up and, well heck yes, started the process for one more loaf.
I'd say it is double . . .but not quite as high as my last five . . . almost 9 pm . . . and it takes 35 mins to bake . . . . will I make it?

Yeast is amazing . . . starts slow . . . and once it gets going takes off.
Turned my oven on. I think the bread will be done before 10 PM and resting over night so we can have some tomorrow.
Things I think are important to share.
This is a no kneed bread
Starter came right from the fridge. . . tons of liquor . . . stirred it in . . . didn't add anything to starter for 5 days.
Yes it can be better if you stretch and fold a lot . . . but this works and is better than what I'd get at the supermarket.

San Francisco Sourdough!
In my reading the yeast does pretty much come to what is in the air where we are.
I think this is my last post until I try something different. This loaf was from starter that had been maybe five days in the fridge without feeding. I only made this as my wife thought she tipped it over . . .. no the CO2 blew the lid off.
All done in 12 hrs and now off to bed as it cools . . . and fresh bread for the morning.
