Pain Au Bacon - Ken Forkish
hello.. i like to share a sourdough bread baked by my lovely friend HK. i did mentioned and shared one of her loaf she made the last time. proud to say that i shared my starter with her. i can't remember how long ago, 6 months maybe. and she is baking marvelous bread since. one day, she asked me to recommend some bread books to buy. and i mentioned Ken Forkish and Peter Rainheart. i myself did not owned any but would love to one day. i did went through the reviews of the books at Amazon. and i liked both. any opinions or feedback about this bread book by Ken Forkish?
this is the exact words she said: Just baked, my house smell like roast pork , hahaha!
and she asked: You think the top burnt ?
i replied no..
what do you think ?
to me, it is just lovely ...

That's just stunning! I don't think the crust is burnt at all.. I like all my loaves to be a little dark though, so maybe I'm not the one to ask.
Hi Evon, I don't think it looks burnt at all, it has a very nice color. Not that it detracts at all, but it is a little surprising to see the flour remaining from the brotform browning. Are you using a 50% rice flour mixture?

But it is boldly baked :-) Nothing like a the smell of a roasting pig to make one hungry! Bacon is the pig's gift to the world.
Tell HK she did well and wish her happy baking too!
Very nice looking bread your friend baked. Not too dark for my taste.
You had me at bacon. ohhhhh boy.
Nice!
