Just so that you know I haven’t given up on T55 baguette challenge. ;)
This is a my first take on a recipe from Laurel’s Kitchen bread book. It is (Basic Whole Wheat bread). The recipe is basically an enriched (Butter/oil , and Honey) 100% whole wheat bread.
The whole procedure from mixing to baking takes roughly 5-6 hours, quite fast! Recipe calls for 1.6 tsp for a 900 grams of whole wheat flour. The hydration is about 70%, but I increased it to 75%.
Hello,
I made my bread dough for a wheat bread using my bread machine. After the kneed cycle I kneaded the dough just enough to shape it and put into a bread pan. It rose very nicely! I spread a little bit of butter on top then into the oven to bake at 350. The bread then flattened out unevenly, even! What happened? Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello all you bakers with far more experience than I! I love this site for all your tips and notes. I have my own, which is more about the process and reflection from an amateur perspective. Hope you'll share your comments with me!

Hello everybody! There are a lot of wonderful breads here lately. I was gone in vacation, and since I got back I keep reading every post that I missed. I feel so inspired everytime I open this site and I read your stories. My "breads-I-must-try" list is already too long and it keeps getting longer.
I haven’t posted in over a year. To busy baking and doing the necessary every day life things until May and my arm had a bit of an old man’s problem requiring surgery in August (broken bone spur with complications). All is better now and really I needed to bake some sourdough bread. I used Susan’s Simple Sourdough Formula, here http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/13771/simple-sourdough-909. I have baked this bread before, but today I had to make a couple of changes.
We don't see a lot of posts on sandwiches on this forum, which I'm sure is what most of use our daily bread for. I thought it'd be fun to do something a little different by including a procedure on the meat that went into this particular favourite sandwich of mine.
