Thread: Who bakes bread?

as above,(spendy Book)but books are forever,A great Tome for sure.

Today's bake.

So tried a Crusty French bread, today

Much much better then yesterday's Homestead Basic Bread..

Really happy with the Crust (Egg white wash) and the taste, even did a Kosher salt sprinkled top

The overall bread was just better, the consistency was a bit heavy more like a Sour Dough then a French..

Ran us out of Flour, probably a good thing as I was using years old Gold Medal basic flour figured it was good to practice with...

Lunch with Ham Hock 15 Bean Soup and the newest experiment loaf..

My two attempts at no-knead bread were interesting, the second one was definitely better but there's still lots of room for improvement.

I have made a couple of marbled kugelhopf in the last weeks, those were very successful. I am now baking a batch of choco-marbled mini kugelhopf.

Do you have any pics? We like pics.

Is interesting,must be hundreds of differant Ethnic breads in the world.My Family (in days long past) are Ukranian.
On easter we always made Kulich,Traditionaly made in coffee cans,lots of saffron.was great stuff.

Found a Breadman TR555LC at Goodwill for $3.99 last week - clean, looked new. So far it has made one good loaf after another. I wasn't out trying to find a bread machine but, now that the fad is long over, it seems like some old wedding presents and shower gifts are getting dumped. There were half a dozen breadmakers there but this was the cheapest and, without a doubt, the only one clean and not beaten. Working on the right challah recipe. Crust has three settings but it may be too dark and thick for most people - ok with me. French toast for breakfast this morning and it was excellent.

Your wish is my command

Last week's rose shaped choco-marble:



The top was a bit overcooked, but it was delicious
