My 1st no-knead
Forums:
Made my 1st no-knead bread today. Wow. I had low expectations, but I love it. I let it rise for 20 Hrs plus 2 Hrs more after the fold.
It came out great (for me) and tastes wonderful. Nice crisp crust highlighted with a little cornmeal. I'll be doing this one for awhile. I'm hooked. Dave

My buttermilk cluster attempts.
Forums:
Well, this was my 1st try at the buttermilk cluster. Also my 1st "no bread machine bread". Tasted good, but didn't rise very well so they were a little dense. I used some vital wheat gluten and an old yeast.

Bread for holiday picnic
Forums:
We're hosting the neighbors for a picnic on Memorial day, so I threw together a batch of honey whole wheat burger & brat rolls, and a couple of loaves of sandwich Italian (that's what I call it when I bake Italian in loaf pans).

And they are supposed to be twins!
Forums:
Just baked these two loaves. They looked and weighed the same before going into the oven. Once the oven spring began I could tell one was springing up a lot more than the other. They were placed in the oven, the exactly position that you see in the picture. What happened then? They are still warm so can't slice them just yet. I weighed them again, the large one weighed 1 lb. 6.8 oz while the smaller one weighed 1 lb. 6.9 oz. I wonder if I am going to see a big hole in the large loaf.

New Camera!
Forums:
I got a new camera and just had to play around with it! No more grainy pictures of my beautiful loaves. No more tiny, miniscule photos. No way! With my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 with 10MP and 18X zoom I can now go poster-size to 180 dpi. And really, shouldn't there be more posters of bread?

too close to the top of the oven
Forums:
I've been baking baguettes really close to the top of the oven, I didn't move the stone for boules. oops.
They look like they're stuck to the top element.
Close one, they only ended up with a brand mark on the top - kind of classy. Unfortnately in the melee I got a similar one on my wrist.

spring garden work
Forums:
It was fun to take some baguettes out and picture them next to a newly planted tomato plant. Being spring and all...
Sandwiches down the road.

All in a day's work
Forums:
This is our May long weekend. While most people are busy planting their garden I am busy in the kitchen. I borrowed the ideas from some TFL members to make fun shape breads; JMonkey's sourdough WW English muffins, and two loaves of my own creation: SD sesame sandwich bread.
