Thread: Who bakes bread?

Top of a Bunn coffee pot works a treat.

Living alone I don't eat a lot of bread, so I only bake one loaf at a time. For years I've used a 'toaster' type countertop oven. It did fine, it would fit a pie inside or the bread. However that's about all it would do. Sooooo this year I bought myself a Christmas Present.

It's a Breville BOV900BSS. It'll cook two pies or two loaves of bread. It has a 'Proof' built into it, from the factory it's set at 80 degs. "These pics are from the company".





So far I'm really digging it!

That is sweet, Roy.

Perfect for a single person, and keeps the kitchen cooler in the warmer months.

Very cool kit Roy!
We have a countertop unit, but not with all those settings.
I’d be trying that dehydrator function myself real quick.
Home made beef jerky is da bomb!

Damn right, I have a dehydrator and it does great jerky, used to do it in the oven on very low with the door open but I like the dehydrator more.

Back when I deer hunted a lot with my dad and brother, I'd make jerky from a whole deer. ( Minus loins, back straps, and trimmings for hamburger )

The oven set on warm, door held open with a fork, was way better than the mega tier dehydrator I had.

Just line the bottom of the oven with foil , Peirce each strip of marinated venison with a toothpick, and hang between grates.

Keep in sealed containers, lasts a long time, eating it myself, but I typically would stuff mason jars as full as I could, and gave it out for Christmas.

Still left me ample supply for the year, kept a jar in the boat, and truck for snakin on. Refill as needed. Mmmm.

Well Christmas Eve Brunch at my oldest is tomorrow and I'm bring a seafood soup. However I thought that this might be appreciated.





I used the new counter top oven to proof and to bake the rolls.

Those rose to the occasion Roy! Look super soft and tasty. Even colour as well. Good bake bro.

Thanks my friend. This recipe came from a bloke over in the UK. I find many of his recipes very interesting and easy to work with. He's a retired cook and he really explains thing very well.

My stove has a standing pilot for the burners on top. [The oven still needs a match.]

That works very similar to yor solution.
