The really good news is that my starter is back down to 300g, so I don’t need to get it its own apartment. (My friend Mindy took some.)

Some stress baking this afternoon, if you know what I mean. Miso Walnut Double Thick Chocolate Cookie.A mixture of miso, mirin and sugar is boiled and walnut are coated and cooked for a few minutes. This really is a nice thick cookie inspired by Levain Bakery in NYC. Loads of chocolate with a salty taste from the miso. I made mine 60 grams instead of 90 and they stilla good size. Got 15 cookies. Baked at 350f convection for 17 minutes. My guys said they were the best.

Greek yogurt and olive oil flatbreads from Milk Street Bakes. This was easily mixed by hand and the dough also included some semolina flour. Cooked stovetop in a cast iron pan for 3-4 minutes. The dough was very soft and sticky, even with generous flouring of the surface. Still easy to work with and I didn’t mind that pulling the parchment off made my wonky circles even weirder. These were to be brushed with a tiny amount of za’atar, sumac, oregano and lots of


olive oil. I keep some plain and slathered some others more generously. These were delicious when warm and well see how the leftovers are tomorrow. I did reduce the yeast from a tablespoon to a teaspoon as that seemed like a lot for 385 grams of flour.
