Thread: Who bakes bread?

I’m out of poppy seeds but do love them on bread. My next sourdough I’m gonna try everything bagel dressing on it.. might like the savory with the harder crust.
My sister didn’t crack open the bread last night as her meal was specifically preset, so I had to make a twin today for us to have with dinner.
Trying toad in the hole for the first time, looked so good on the dinner thread!

Cheers.

Woke up early to watch the Queen’s funeral and decided to make some bread to kick off the week.

One for home and took one to work.
Sourdough that I usually bake.
Tuned out very well.
Cheers.

Alas no pictures, but we were having butter chicken for dinner tonight, so I made some naan bread with cumin seeds.

Musta been good because my youngest daughter enjoyed it and my eldest wanted more ��♂️

Made 2 ...sourdough balls ..800 grams each...going into the fridge for 24 hours...and bake them tomorrow.

My starter will be a year old in December ....used 30% Einkorn flour (240 g) ...and 530 g of Bread flour....100 g of starter ...17 g of kosher salt. Did 6 folds with 30 minutes between folds.

And the money shot !

Looks great! And the starter gets stronger as she ages..

Case in point, I dare say as long as I feed her once a month now, and keep her refrigerated between batches, this ole girl keeps rising for the occasion.

This is that starter I ordered from that bakery in Egypt at the start of the pandemic.
We call her Cleo..

This is the first time trying out my new to me cast iron,roll/muffin pan.
Bread flour, 70% hydration, yeast,salt, and egg wash.
Mixed day before, rose in fridge. Degassed, shaped, this morning, let rise, started in cold oven. It is still too hot to preheat oven.

Look pretty good, crust looks crunchy.

Too hot to preheat, and we have frost now,,,,,,
