Sun Oven Sourdough - Trial run!
We’re going on an extended camping trip soon and there was no way I’m giving up sourdough while off grid! The gas oven in the rv is only 4” high so while I can do some baking in it, it’s not big enough for anything other than Pullman loaves.
100g rye starter
500 g KA organic bread flour
350g water
12g salt
Mixed together, 3 sets of stretch and folds and about 8 hours of bf, then shaped in to a banneton. In the fridge for overnight cold proof.
Set up the sun oven the next morning, and it got to about 350f in about 20 minutes. Watched it for another 20 to see how the temp would do and it was hovering at that same temp.
Put a few ice cubes around the parchment, and then lid on and in to the sun oven.
Kept the lid on in there for an hour.
Removed the lid and baked another half hour.
Let it rest overnight and cut in to it this morning.
Came out way better than I expected!
Next time I’ll bake for another 15ish as it seems just slightly underbaked at the bottom of the loaf, but overall perfectly edible!!

With the changes to the ball pectin recipe, is the ball recipe book good anymore?
Would like to add a good canning resource to my physical library for both water bath and pressure canning. But that said, with what I’ve been reading about the changes to their pectin recently, I have concerns this isn’t the gold standard book it used to be. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Cool little King Snake today
Found this guy in the backyard right around sunset up here in Oracle.
Unfortunately, he found a gap through the crawlspace and made it to the basement. Saw him briefly down there but we’re gonna wait til morning to do a more thorough search to relocate.
Thankfully the door to the basement is well sealed so hopefully we won’t have any unintended snuggle buddies over night 🤣😭
