Thread: Who bakes bread?

Do you usually knead up front or just let the time develop all the glutton?

Also, set proper mill lol.

Up front, in the initial mix. I knead for 10 minutes in the kitchen aid. Then fold once after 3 hours when I knock the dough down and portion out the baskets. That’s it usually.
Loaves are going to rest till noon today. Was a late finish last night..

Birthday "Cake". My second time making monkey bread. Oven spring was a bit more intense than expected. I may try to convert it to a sourdough one day. But this one comes directly from sallysbakingaddiction.com.

That’s a Christmas Day staple around here.
Looks sweet, literally!

I think I will do it like I did the cinn-rasin loaf. Put about 15g of starter in a jar and build it up overnight with milk and flour. 224g of starter seems to be about the norm for conversion. But, I saw a video once where you can calculate the percentage of starter for different bulk ferment times.

Crazy Monday at work but the bread didn’t suffer in the fridge doin the slow rise.

Egg wash and caraway seeds topper.

Now to cool before dinner. Smells great. Very rye like.
Thinking rye bread monte cristo’s tonight.

Cheers

And the crumb!
Still warm.

Should make good grilled sandwiches..

A small quick loaf for dinner, carmelized onions in the roll. I need to do work on my rolling game.
