The revenge!

After my last bread making failure, I had to bake again to gain confidence on my baking skills 😉 I’m happy to say it was a TOTAL SUCCESS!!! 😆 I guess I still have chance to become a real baker one day 😉

this time I follow the recipe almost EXACTLY

I made the 100% Whole Grain Brown Rice wheat berries and millet Bread from this amazing book

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (I used half King Arthur White WW Flour and half normal WW flour)
• 1/4 cup flax meal
• 1 cup cooked wheat berries and millet
• 3/4 tbsp yeast
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp vital wheat gluten
• 1 3/4 cup lukewarm water

put everything to the bread machine and choose dough cycle

1.5 hours later

the dough was very sticky so I put it in the fridge for 4 hours

form 2 balls with the help of flour (the dough was still sticky)

let it rest for 90 min

splash with water, bake on a baking stone at 450F for 40 min

the texture is perfect! Although it’s 100% Whole Grain, it’s soft and chewy with a hard and crunchy crust! I love it!!! 😀

I got my running belt and can’t wait to try it on today’s long run. I filled 1 with sport drink and the other with water.

My plan was to do 10 miles, but ended up running 12 miles. I don’t know if it’s because I was better hydrated or my body adjust from last week, after 10 miles I felt I have more to give. 🙂 I got a little tired at mile 11 but overall it was good! 🙂 I think I’m ready for the half. The plan is to do a short-long run (8 miles) next weekend and tap the last week.

After the run I went to the gym and stretched for 15 min using foam roller. Oh… God! This thing is soooooo powerful!!!! My muscles were screaming!!! 😯 But I felt much better afterwards. Stretched and showed… ready for a some fuel 🙂

After the late breakfast (11 am) I went to the farmer’s market that is 5 blocks away from home. First time this year!!! 😯 I got some goodie, expensive but delicious. 🙂 I have a lot planed to cook today! 😀

Q: Do you go often to farmer’s market? What’s your current favorite veggie?
