Thread: Who bakes bread?

I pushed the fermentation on these a lot further than the last batch. I created somewhat of a poolish by mixing the yeast and some water then covered with some flour. I let this rest for about 6 hours. I then mixed in the rest of the ingredients, stretched and folded the dough, and let it rise 2 more hours at room temp. I then stretched and folded it again and put it in the fridge overnight. I'll taste them in a bit and see how the added fermentation affected the taste.

The first time I visited my Mentor, pinklather, he was in the middle of getting some sourdough ready for it's final rise. Subsequent visits were the same with the addition of freshly baked to taste. I'm more a yeast man, but the bread was heavenly. I've started baking my bread again and certainly will add to the posts after tax time. Looking forward to smelling the aroma of fresh baked bread right out of the oven in my mind as I read about all the interesting recipes coming.

I'm more of a straight yeast fan too. Sour dough is ok. I like it enough. But I prefer straight yeast dough.

Sour doug bread anyone?
I'm still working on fruit starter, so i'll post some pictures in week or two

My Brother In Blades, I guess that I might have to replace this pic of you in my file;



With this one;



Bake On!

Pout the gorilla head on the doughboy body, and there you go!!!! I,m loving the homemade bread so much we haven't bought bread in a month now,, Glen the one thing I found out us the time for the rises us nit always true, it really gas also t to do with what climate your dealing with to, I just wait till it rises, no clear ck, also I do make sure of my yeast, my first attempt such like yours. I used a bad batch of yeast,, Now back the my banana bread with a glass of buttermilk! Tc

I'll pass on the banana bread TC but a slice of regular bread straight out of the oven, smothered in butter, with a slab of home made sausage sounds killer to me.

I do like to bake bread, and if any of you gents have a recipe for a garlic bread, I would be more than interested.
