Thread: Who bakes bread?

My bread is done and in fact I've sliced some pieces off for a turkey sandwich for a lite supper.

I forgot to take pics of the dough after it's final rise in the baking pans but the dough was about a 1/2 inch above the pan at the crown. I had the oven per-heated to 375 degs but would lower the heat to 350 once the loaves were placed in the oven (Please note: I use a table top convection oven which is actually a Toaster Oven On Steroids with some forced air so the heat drops quickly) anyway; I tried to take pictures to show how fast the heat of the oven forced the yeast to rise as the top of the dough was about an inch above the edge of the pan in about 60 seconds but I was unsuccessful as I didn't want to open the small oven.

Ok, after 25 minutes at 350 degs here's my loaves;



Out of the oven and the tops brushed with a little melted butter;



The rise was great! Nice Light Slices:



Thanks for looking!

Your 'elderly neighbor' and I would get along real well as we seem to have the same up bringing.

Nothing new here. I make a Kougelhof every couple weeks. Here's today's.

Just out of the oven. Yumm!

I've seen some sweets in this thread so I hope cookies are okay. We shelled pecans last night and ended up with a little over a pound of nuts. I was eager to make something with them so I used a walnut cookie recipe to make these.

I'd say those cookies are really, really OK!
Good work

Outstanding!

I decided to have some banana bread so--Here they are.

I added chopped dried apricots and currants (I'm just not fond of raisins in baked goods)

I just had to have a couple of slices once they'd cooled a bit.

No bread 😞

Went to get some flour the pther day and found weevils in it. Checked all the flours. All had weevils, had to chuck it all out..

Will be buying airtight containers for my flour.
