Thread: Who bakes bread?

This recipe is really good. I baked two loaves in cast iron pans, and one+ disappeared
before I could get a picture of it! I scored the top of the loaves so the slices wouldn't
be too tall for our toaster.

Made 4 loaves today ....sooo good !

Look great gents!

And.....the Money Shot..

Finally found some barley malt so tried my hand at some organic sourdough caraway seed rye tonight.
Down to the final rest overnight in the fridge.

Rises were steady over the last few hours between folds. Normally I don’t fold my loaves but decided with the rye gluten, worth the effort. Plus I folded some caraway seeds in during the last flip for extra flavour.
Shall see how they are in the morning.

Note Sgt Pepper Mill looking all dejected like in the corner. Never got called into service..

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..
