If Dior was a color, I guess it has to be the dove gray tone used on labels and in their stores. It is a very feminine and elegant gray. Personally, I find it a bit too flat. There’s a limit to how exciting one can get in that color. Especially when you are Blond. But for labeling, I find it excellent. And for bread too.

Have you ever tried these British charcoal crackers that looks so good when you have them with cheese and some exciting colored marmalade? They are totally black. I had been thinking about making a black wheat bread ones but never found the charcoal. Yesterday a girl at Bread Exchange traded the charcoal with me. Pretty cool. I wanted to start slow so I made the first dough gray. My friend Gerard, who is visiting me from London, walks into the room and says: “What a lovely Dior shade of Gray”. So there you got it.

I made a second dough with white chocolate too. I like the idea of the sweet white in the gray dough. If you do too you will be able to trade it with me later today. Let me know.

The Chocolate bread has about 2 gram of yeast (like nothing, a normal dough has about 50 gram). It just does not taste well to only base it on sourdough. I tried it before. But the process is the same, at least 24 hours.
Both Breads are made with flour from an Organic farm in Umbria, Italy, that I traded a while ago.
