Cheese Bread　(apple and yogurt yeast water)

Hubby's favorite.
Doesn't this look great?
Yumyum

new apple yeast water

When I eat apples, I usually eat skin too but when I baked apple cup bread last week I had to peel the skin of some apples because of some customers' preferance.

So I decided to make a new jar of apple yeast water.

This time I used a jar full of skin and cores and fill it with water.

It started bubbling in 2 day and became really strong yeast water after 2 more days sitting on the kitchen counter.

Even though I did not feed any sugar or honey.

So if you are thinking about making yeast watet, use as much fruits as you can to fill the jar to get good result.

Weak yeast water does not give you good bread.

Prune Boule (apple yeast)

WW flour
white bread flour
prune
water used for reconstituting prune
canola oil
salt
apple yeast water preferment (ww flour and white flour)

The last rise was cut shot (supposed to have the 1.5hour rise but I could only spend 30 mintes)because of my busy weekend schedule and also had no time to bake for long time. So I only baked it for 15 minutes but I could obtain the good coupe.
I should have baked 10minutes longer to let the doug's moisture evaparate but I had no time.
Toasting the bread when you eat helps you doing that.
