Geir's spiffy list of things to see and do in Stockholm

Classic City things to see:

Gamla Stan

The old town of course (Gamla Stan) is a must see and is the oldest part of Stockholm and dates back from the 1200s. This is an area you should stroll around and see the Castle, and different squares. Eating ice cream from one of the waffle cone makers is something nice when it's hot out. On Gamla Stan

Yummy Sourdough (Updated)

I've not often tried to write down recipes, but i'll give this a shot. Really there are a few steps

• make a starter (takes a few days ... or just revive your starter if you already have one)
• one early evening start your dough. Sourdoughs love a long rise in the fridge

This takes a while. In the unlikely event that I'm going to bake them the same day I typically start at 8 in the morning (which isn't that early I know), but don't finish the bread until close to 8pm. It takes a good solid 12 hours to do this right. You can cut it shorter, but you pay for that in lack of lift in your bread. Or, you can just start things the night before as you'll see below.

One more thing. You can add bits like seasoning the top with sesame or poppy seeds, and the like. But this is basically what I do.

So with those highlevel steps in mind here's what I do

Yummy Sourdough

I've not often tried to write down recipes, but i'll give this a shot. Really there are a few steps

• make a starter (takes a few days)
• one evening in the future make a predough
• the next morning make the actual bread dough

Also this can vary and you can bits like seasoning the top with sesame or poppy seeds, and the like. But this is basically what I do.

One more thing. This is actually a small recipe. If you look online people make much larger amounts and end up with multiple loaves, but I feel like I just end up with too much bread. Obviously you could scale this up if you wanted though. If you do scale it up i'd say scale it up on the bread part. The predough should be enough for most of these unless you're scaling up crazy high.
