The old gentleman had his wine shop next door. And he would always tell us when the young wine (called Federwei\u00dfer in Germany) arrived as he knew that my beloved one impatiently waits for the first bottle. As he turned eighty last year he decided to sell the shop and to enjoy his retirement. We wished him all the best \u2013 and were shocked when soon afterwards we got the news that he passed away. His heart just stopped beating the night after he sold his shop. Strange things happens sometimes\u2026 I still think about him now and then.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But some traditions stay alive. The new young vintner understood quickly that my spouse is waiting eagerly for the new vine after getting asked about it about once a week. And so he told me some days ago: \u201cthe wine arrived\u201d. Soon after we carried three bottles of fermenting wine upstairs. Two for my love to drink, one for me for baking, as I planned to bake Federwei\u00dfer bread for the food swap called \u201cSchwarzmarkt\u201d in Cologne. That I nearly missed the swap because of this and that reason but still find some friendly foodies to exchange food is another story. But I would have give away my bread without receiving anything light hearted, too. I just love to bake for passionated foodies so much!<\/p>\n<p>About the bread itself: It is loosely an adaption of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2017\/04\/das-urige\/?noredirect=en_GB\">\u201cUriges\u201d Bread<\/a> but made with Federwei\u00dfer and Sweet Starter for oven spring and flavour. It is amazing how much of the sweetness of the young wine vanished during the long and cold fermentation. The yeasts seem to feast on the sugar during fermentation. What stays is the subtle flavour of grapes and a hint of sweetness. The crumb is fluffy and moist due to a bit of butter and potato flakes, the crust is crisp. Overall a great bread \u2013 and in my mind I devote it to our old vintner.<\/p>\n<h3><u>Rustic Federwei\u00dfer Bread<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>yields 3 breads<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Uriges-Federweierbrot-16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; float: right; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Uriges Federwei\u00dferbrot (1)[6]\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Uriges-Federweierbrot-16_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Uriges Federwei\u00dferbrot (1)[6]\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Federwei\u00dfer Poolish<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>100g rye flour Type 1150<\/li>\n<li>200g Federwei\u00dfer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">Sweet Starter<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>150g sweet Starter<\/li>\n<li>150g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>75g Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dough<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweet Starter<\/li>\n<li>Federwei\u00dfer-Poolish<\/li>\n<li>550g flour Type 1050<\/li>\n<li>100g Federwei\u00dfer<\/li>\n<li>300g Water<\/li>\n<li>40g potato flakes<\/li>\n<li>30g Butter<\/li>\n<li>20g Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the morning\u00a0 (around 7 o\u2019clock) mix the ingredients for poolish and let rise for 12\u00a0 hours at 24\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftenoon mix the ingredients for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">sweet starter<\/a> and let it rise for 2-4 hours at 30\u00b0C until it doubles its volume.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening mix all ingredients for the dough and knead 5 min at slow speed, then turn to fast speed and knead to full gluten development (about. 8 \u201310 min).<\/p>\n<p>Let the dough rise over night in the fridge (about 16 hours).<\/p>\n<p>Now divide the dough in six portions of 300g each.
