I recently cleaned out my bread freezer so I could bake more.๐ So, sandwich bread it is! I swapped out 44% (using the last of a bag) of the flour for an organic whole red wheat from Azure. May I say, it is soft & delicious! https://www.theperfectloaf.com/pain-de-mie/
The loaf I began yesterday is finally out of the oven. I think itโs actually kind of pretty even though somehow it ended up not quite round. This was my first time remembering to use my bread sling and Iโm sold!
I was feeling frisky yesterday and mixed up 2 experimental sourdough loaves and one extra loaf just because I could. The experiment was baking with buttermilk and garlic oil and also finding a better way to cook the water out of onions instead of caramelizing on the stove top. I sliced and chopped some onions, spread them out on a baking sheet and baked at 400*F for 20 minutes covered and 25 minutes uncovered. Perfectly roasted. Pictured below are tge 3 loaves that I baked todayโฆ 1. All three loaves 2. Beer & Cheddar Pretzel Loaf 3. Buttermilk, Garlic Oil & Chives Loaf 4. French Onion Loaf
First time, I attempted to bake a cheesy sourdough bread inclusions. I open baked and love the S-Score. The cheese burnt very fast and I even lowered the temperature and covered it with foil, but only helped slightly. Next time, I need to bake it at a lower temperature. I baked 2 and met and made a wonderful friend at a Publix coffee bar this week. He saw my homemade hamburger buns which I gave my friend who works there. He requested me to bake him a cheese sourdough bread. I took his challenge and baked 2 today. I told him about our wonderful Academy and learnt only from the best to bake sourdough bread baker, Chef Henry @Henry Hunter He wanted the link immediately and joined.
