Baked a bunch (44) of Costco Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings for Pizza nights.

I bought a Pullman pan for baking sandwich bread. It comes with a lid and makes square loaves. This is Honey-oat from the King Arthur website. I’ve got to figure out why the crumb is denser at the bottom.

Looks great!

Lots of variables in bread baking. Try one of these changes at a time:

1. less dough weight in the pan
2. less water in the dough recipe
3. longer proofing time
4. higher oven temperature
5. longer baking time

Bread recipes are merely suggestions. There is significant variation in ovens, ambient conditions (temperature and humidity of the kitchen), method (timing, accuracy of measurement), and ingredients (yeast, salt quantity, flour gluten and humidity).

The net result of these input variations is a significant variation in the finished baked product.

thefreshloaf is a good baking forum. Lots of experience on that site. The UI is old and clunky.

Thanks for the tips. Bread recipes really are just suggestions. I went with the high end of the water range because of the low humidity here. I’ll cut back on the water first.

Seasoned with German Brotgewürz, an equal mixture by weight of ground anise seeds, fennel seeds, coriander seeds and caraway seeds. I inspired by my experience frequent traveling to and living in Germany.

That looks so good, do you have a recipe you’d be able to share?

4... Adding sugar to the mix, boil and stir often and allow to reduce and thicken.
5... Made two jars.

Made another batch of Tabbouleh. I often use it as a substitute for Salsa. I just add my own hot sauce.

Nice to see you back L.J.

Couple of Bread and a Bran, Raisin and Nuts Loaf for a few breakys.

More Tabbouleh. A bigger batch this time around. The last one lasted ten seconds at the clinic. Very popular with my Summer students.

My grand nieces came over and I taught them how to make bread. They were great students and we had excellent results
