Absolutely true…sometimes less IS more

This happened today. Flour, yeast, salt, and water baby, keeping it as simple as. I set it in the oven with the light on for the first rise. I'm not too sure it doubled in size but we'll see how it goes…

It's currently doing the second proof, then I will pop it in the oven on the baking sheet for 45 min.

That's some shit view you have from the kitchen window…...Not jealous at all...

Looking forward to seeing the end result...

Which recipe are you doing? It certainly looks domed, which is a good sign.

Nothing better than waking up to be greeted by a lively Polish….

Imagining extremely nice kitchen smells in the morning

@Chap made a Biga with white, 8-grain and dark rye recently, he was very pleased with it.  So I did a 50% Poolish with 700gms white, 150 8-grain and 150 dark rye.

Well they look pretty brilliant… looking forward to hear how they taste

Our bread came out better than I expected! I think the kids knew all along they make bread once a week at school and ended up being my teacher!! I learned that if you are using whole wheat, which I was, you are suppose to make some a few minor adjustments. Of course that tidbit of information was at the bottom of the page. I made the classic blunder of not reading all the way to the end before starting, and finishing :D. All good though! Totally tasty, with loads of room for improvement.

I did 450 g of flour (in our case whole meal)
1 1/2 tsp salt
7 g yeast
340 g water (I added it at about 50ish C)

I am happy with how this went and am completely seeing how this is going to evolve. I also get why this topic is 80+ pages long, bread making is awesome!
And my view does not suck…

[neph93]

Looks like a good start to me!

I did not bake bread with the kids today but what we did bake was wholemeal free…

[Giles]

Yep, I'll def take that…..

[Chap]

Oh yes

[neph93]

Lovely jubbly. I have a freezer full at the moment but still want to bake [emoji1]

Dang G, that looks to die for!
We live in a super small community and belong to a food club. Someone just started putting their sourdough loaves there and I was lucky enough to score one recently. So, since there is no WBAYET (what bread are you enjoying today) thread, I'll post a pic of it here. Bread goals…

Ffs Padmore… yet another bad habit I’ve picked up from you [emoji1]

[Giles]

It's a good habit…...

It’s a great habit. I’m amazed at how straightforward it is, and how wonderful the results are. Thank you [emoji3526]
