The bread of the day for the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge, is Greek Celebration Bread. This is an enriched bread made from a master formula that utilizes a wild-yeast starter or a poolish.
Several different breads can be made from the master formula: Greek Celebration Bread, Christopsomos, and Lambropsomo. I chose to make the basic bread. The formula uses a wild yeast starter, along with a little commercial yeast, to create an authentic-tasting, yet manageable, bread. If you don’t have a starter, you can replace it with an equal amount of poolish. The fermentation and proofing times remain the same. I chose to utilize the poolish method.
If you’re interested in learning how to make a different type of Greek Celebration Bread, check out this Greek Easter Bread.
Stay tuned for Day 3 of the Bread Baking Challenge. Next time, we’ll be making bagels.
Happy Baking!

Thanks for the comments Susie. I don’t like where this comment box is either. I’ll try to move it. Also don’t like the way it doesn’t notify me if I have a comment. I’ll work on that too!
