Trouble Shoot My Loaves Please
Hi I'm a complete beginner and have had a couple issues wondering if I could get some help. Just have made 3 basic beginner loaves. 1. On all three the texture inside has been very dense and heavy not light at all. 2. The top always gets a "stringy" look or like a "moon surface" and real hard. No softness like you would hope with home made. Is this a technique issue or an ingredients issue or both? I do not have a stand mixer so I've been kneading by hand. Thanks. Eric
