Toasted Fennel seed and Orange Honey bread with Bobs red mill 8 grain cereal

For this weeks breakfast bread . I pan toasted some fennel seed and crushed them using my Mortar bowl.
Then I added some ground dried Orange peel and honey. After kneading I folded in about 1/2 cup soaked 8 grain cereal.
My recipe used a Biga at 25% of the total dough weight. I went for a total dough hydration of about 70%

 It has a nice Fennel sent but not overpowering.

Roasted Potato and Feta Pizza

As is often the case, I make from what I have at hand. I had some nice organic red potatoes, feta  cheese, and a bell  pepper .
 Cooked at about 750Deg F. 2 min.  69 % dough hydration with same day mix














 I did not want to waste all that oven heat so I cut up some more potatoes and make a potato bake with cheese and an egg Panko & Farina de mandioca crusted topper.
