Now all you gotta do is start making your own Buttermilk. If you start with Cultured Buttermilk you can just add some to regular milk, or even 1/2 and 1/2 and make more. It's kind of like making yogurt. I've never scaled the milk before adding the buttermilk but I don't see why not.Quote:

Have fun!
Yes, could have been the weight (and consequently, spacing) of the dough balls. May have also been too much water or yeast. I'd be able to better diagnose it if I were to see it at various points in the proofing stages, and the beginning of the bake.Quote:

Hmmm... if this was from a recipe, did it mention a specific weight (or shape "...golf ball" etc.)?? If not, then it probably was the weights.
The recipe mentioned weight.to be honest i think this is more to do with spacing and tray size 😂Quote:

A few notes on the first pic you posted...
You might try dropping the oven temp 10-25 degrees (Fahrenheit). But in doing so, you may need to add some time to the bake.
May be off-base, but my professional knee-jerk reaction to the look is "wet, and/or over mixed". Just factors that cause a dough to be softer than intended.
Hmmm. The dough was a bit tackier than I thought right. So might adjust that next batch, also think Ill split it over 2 trays and this time i won't let my 3 year old poke any of them 😂Quote:

Hehehe. It doesn't seem like it when you start out, but after gaining some experience, you too will realize that baking is the exacting science of the kitchen. Cooking is extremely forgiving of "artistic license".
In my work, a 1% change in water content can mean the difference in a good loaf of white bread, and what coworkers & I refer to as "pancake batter". Would it actually make pancakes? Not likely. But it makes for a sloppy mess, and a floppy loaf. To be fair, the 1% make or break is possible because we have tight control on everything but the climate. Time at any stage, heat & humidity when it proofs in the pan, and bake time & temp.
In a commercial setting you can nail things down real tight. At home the ingredients and circumstances are more fluent. It pays to be as precise as possible but you have to be prepared to make small adjustments at home. I usually recommend two digital scales as the most useful adjustment a person can make. One for very small amounts (up to 100 g) and the other for flour, water, and such.Quote:

Just for kicks, I'm gonna take a wild "shot in the dark" and venture a guess...Quote:
