My Bread doesnt smell?
I am a beginner at breadmaking, this is my 3rd attempt at making my own bread by hand, but somehow during the baking process in the oven till when its complete, i do not get the smell of fresh bread aroma. I find this very strange as everyone seems to say their bread smells around the home, and i wonder whether it is to do with the flour i am using.
Also, the outcome of my bread has a very hard crust and the inside of the bread is not light and fluffy (which i want to achieve), but quite tight with very small holes. After a day, the bread goes rock hard and puts me off eating it.
Any comments on the smell of the bread and how to make the crust not too hard but just right and the insides soft is much appreciated!!
