@Giles:

Just about what I was wanting to achieve….

Looks good, although I don’t know whatvitnos supposed to look like. How do the Japanese eat it? I suspect it will be great with butter and jam.

Looks like everyone has some good weekend bread going!

I'm back on the sourdough train for the time being anyway.

Apparently I must need to score deeper, my ears are super short. I've been using a razor

It can be made with quite a lot of sugar, for sweet stuff, or little or none for savoury stuff….

And this is what a good one looks like, so I have a way to go 

I did not knead the dough as per the recipe, but did a Forkish Pinch and fold - next time I'll knead.  Also one of these would have helped:

So, I have one inbound….

And, it's very nice with Gorgonzola…..

[neph93]

Similar to the sweet dough I use for Norwegian "bolle" and cinamon swirls. That replaces water with milk. I've only made that using regular kneading and large amounts of yeast. I think that less yeast and less vigorous dough manipulation will require lots of time for fermentation.

@kkibbey23 lovely crumb on that bread. I prefer not scoring the bread at all and baking seam side up so you get rugged, more organic splits. These give a great ear. Also, have you considered baking dark rather than that blonde colour? I find it increases the flavour of the crust massively which creates a great contrast with the white flour sourdough.

@neph93  thanks I'll have to try not scoring at all and see how that goes!

Believe it or not, I actually pushed this for me a bit… you should have seen some of my other bakes[emoji38]… I agree I definitely need to push it a little more and go for darker color.

I'll give it a try next weekend

@Giles Nice buns!

I would too… they look delightful. I also want gorgonzola, now.

[Giles]

Mmmmmmmmm

[kkibbey23]

@neph93 went a bit darker today. I gotta say I think it is a good bit better.

I need to push it more next time for sure. I also am starting to think about some different recipes, and maybe some whole weat etc.

Today, I continued my Hokkaido journey….

And the Padmore method of protecting the top from burning….

[kkibbey23]

Damn G, looking really good

I like the solution to the burned top

[Giles]

And, I think yours look absolutely fabulous…...

[kkibbey23]
