Bread - What are you baking today…..

Looking solid goose.

That’s cool and I haven’t seen loaves cut like that. I’ve played around with scissors and random knife cuts, but still like it when they burst open.

Still working on getting the surface tension right for that to happen consistently.

[jfk1117]

I’d buy a cheap bread lame, they all do the same. Prolly can get one for $10 or so. It’s really a razor blade but it cuts way easier and more evenly. For the burst, that’s more dependent on what you are using to cook it in. More steam will lead it to open up. If you are using something with a lid, I’d try putting the pot in the oven at 500 for a hour. Then put the dough on, score it, toss 2 normal size ice cubes in and put the lid on immediately. Oven down to 425 for 20 minutes and then remove lid to brown the top.

@Giles @neph93 Good morning gentlemen. Time to get to work…

FAAAAAAAARK

Looks amazing.

And we love a good song...

That really does look amazing @goosehd. One of my favorite way to homemade loaves is to make deviled eggs, and make you whipped filling really airy and mayo heavy so there's plenty extra, and then spread the leftover filling on homemade toast. It's one of the joys of life for my wife and I.

egg salad works too, but something about the yolk spread...

[goosehd]

@jordanscollected Thanks Jeff! I do like devilled eggs and egg salad.

Tonight we had the fresh loaf of bread (half of it), with spaghetti bolognese…

…and now you’ve given me an idea for the leftover loaf.

@goosehd Looks amazingly great..

[goosehd]

@ROman I had a good teacher…

[neph93]

New gaff... back on the bread-making. White poolish, ala Forkish, but done in tins. Crumb was a little denser than last time but pleased with the even structure. @ARNC once wrote that he felt the world was a better place when I baked, and that has stayed with me.

[popvulture]

Oy I’d eat the hell outta that

[ARNC]

@neph93 absolutely - wish I could upvote this more than once!

[goosehd]

@neph93 …IMO nothing better than seeing pictures of your buns…

[jordanscollected]

@neph93 I usually don't wish it felt like 2020 again, but you sharing fresh bread on the forum is an obvious exception.

[neph93]

@popvulture you’ll be glad to know that not only am I back to baking, I’m also able to double entendres pretty much anything again… and there’s a “your mum” joke in there that I’m struggling to avoid making.

[neph93]

@goosehd funny you say that as selling pics of my buns is currently a valid career option.
